The Gallery on 47th Street will be extending its schedule by three months after great success and recognition from artists and fans alike.

Colin Dempsey, co-owner of the gallery, was asked if he thought the business would be operational into the new year, having reopened in September following a 12-year hiatus.

SA国际影视传媒淣o way. I would have smacked myself,SA国际影视传媒 he joked, but his voice was tinged with excitement. SA国际影视传媒淓very week, it just keeps getting better and better. We just feel like we really want to continue to see the space used this way, to be able to have this vehicle for creative endeavors.SA国际影视传媒

Having a long-burning desire to reopen their gallery, co-owners Colin and Ainsley Dempsey decided to purchase a new location neighbouring their former one, moving from 4911 47 Street to 4909 47 Street earlier this year.

The couple heard from many artists interested in having their work displayed in the gallery. In order to meet the demand, they scheduled weekly features from Sept. 2 to Dec. 2.

In September, Ainsley was open to the possibility that the the operation could spill over into 2023.

The couple extended the gallerySA国际影视传媒檚 schedule again, adding nearly a full month of extra weekly features. On Wednesday, they featured the final artists they planned for this year.

Momentum didnSA国际影视传媒檛 stop there, however, and now the gallery is expected to remain open until April.

SA国际影视传媒淲e started as a one to two month thing and now itSA国际影视传媒檚 kind of got legs under it. WeSA国际影视传媒檙e going to just keep going into the new year,SA国际影视传媒 Ainsley said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e booked now through till April.SA国际影视传媒

Interest from artists, their fans and other art enthusiasts continued to grow throughout the year, according to Ainsley.

SA国际影视传媒淲e have a really nice slate of regulars that come to every opening. Each artist brings in their own following, and their own friends and family. We have new people, kind of a new energy, coming through all the time,SA国际影视传媒 she said.

Ainsley added that they would be decreasing the frequency of newly-featured artists.

SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e gonna change it so (thereSA国际影视传媒檚) going to be a new artist every other week. That was one thing we got as feedback from our clients. In some cases they are out of town or theySA国际影视传媒檙e busySA国际影视传媒 and then they had to miss shows.SA国际影视传媒

The new year wonSA国际影视传媒檛 alter the regular hours, however, with doors still open on Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The official schedule of artists for the new year has not yet been released.
