Dear Gallery Artists,
The NELA Second Saturday Artwalk has been in operation for about five years. We have operated as a grass roots, unfunded, volunteer organization. There is no way to monetize the event nor a way to assess the participating galleries a percentage of the looming significant costs that will be assigned by the city for services.
With legal liability a serious issue, MorYork will close at the end of 2011. All shows scheduled in 2012 and henceforth are hereby canceled.
I am deeply sorry that our commitments cannot be fulfilled.
All best regards,
Clare
We will keep you posted with any new developments.

Clare,
ReplyDeleteThis is a big bummer. I didn't know about the city services assessment. Will you have a November or December event?

MorYork is an integral part of our community. The wonderful time my family has spent exploring there are some of the highlights of our Highland Park Experience. Thank You for all the wonderful times. Please let me know if there is any way i can be of assistance.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything that can be done? File a complained? Collect signatures? If so please advice where to address our frustration with the city's plan to charge you fees. Thank you!
