There were some who thought Janet Crawford was foolhardy to open a commercial art gallery in small town like Sackville, but forty years later, Fog Forest Gallery is a well-respected East Coast gallery and fixture of downtown Sackville.
To celebrate her 40 years in business, Crawford has invited 40 of her favourite artists to a special anniversary show, Forty Years in the Forest, which opens tonight with live music and refreshments at the Fog Forest Gallery on Bridge Street.
“It’s been a good ride for 40 years,” says Crawford, who has no plans to retire anytime soon.
“I want this to be a celebration, not so much of the gallery, but of the artists and the clients… Because without the artists and without the customers, I wouldn’t have been here.”
Hear the full interview with Crawford here:
Forty Years in the Forest opens Friday from 5pm to 7pm, and continues until October 11th. Fog Forest Gallery is open Thursdays and Friday, 10am to 5pm, and by appointment.
