Thank you from.. to use a cliche,.. the bottom of my heart, to read the well-wishes above. We will be vacating the premises sometime prior to March 14, probably March 12. First, we wish to thank the citizens of Decatur for supporting us over the past 11 years. By “support” I do not mean “purchasing”. I refer to our friends and neighbors who have simply come in to view what we think is one of the best, if not the best, stable of artists in Metropolitan Atlanta. To use another cliche… art is for the people. We would also like to think the City of Decatur, including everyone from City Hall to the police on the street for their help in promoting us and the many other small businesses in the city. The Arts Alliance of Decatur perhaps most of all. Hopefully, depending on our energy and time permitting.. we will have a final showing within the next few weeks, consisting primarily of art which the gallery has collected from their own artists over the last 11 years. Much will not be for sale, but there will be some choice pieces. As an aside, we never put art “on sale”. This would be an affront to our artists, whose art is worth what it is worth and not a penny less. We do have some art supplies ‘on sale’ and some art which has appreciated in value over the years, but most of what we will be displaying is work by the artists, who we love, and whose art which we love. There will be more. I can convey our sincerest thanks to everyone in the City of Decatur.. well.. almost everyone.

Best,

Bill Bibb

Personally, I would like to see a sport/clothing store for “regular people” (i.e. not a botique), with some emphasis on quality outdoor clothes. Jeans and exercise shirts, as well as brands like Patagonia and Mountain Hardware, for example. Lots of places have independent retailers with this kind of clothing. Like the clothing lineup at REI or EMS, for example.
