I know I am late in this response and the deal has been done. But one thing stood out to me and I feel I have to mention it.

I will try to be as clear as possible. Did the previous occuppant have an artist's personality and style? Sometimes that makes a huge difference. Since this is a prime place for artists, perhaps this person didn't have the demeanor. I don't know, I am just guessing here. Many times you can have the best products in the world at the least expensive rate and not have any of your products move if you have a dull personality.

Just my opinion. I am glad you made the choice Meredith. I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons. It takes a while for any new establishment to get started and if this is a new gallery, well...people are still trying to get a feel of the place.

Please keep us posted as to how you are doing.

Cheers,
