would make space available to us for free, and wouldn't charge any commission on work sold. It sounds like March 10 to April 30 are mostly open - they will let us know soon about exact dates. The main floor has two adjoining rooms, total space about 14' x 35' with a 4' x 12' table that needs to stay in place. If you have a show there they'd like to keep it up for 3 to 4 weeks.
WR is open daily noon to 10 pm so we could go by there at some point.
