KENT—The long-awaited opening of Morrison Gallery is underway. William “Billy” Morrison is inviting visitors to come see his new headquarters during his soft opening weekends, Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
Weekday hours are arranged by appointment until he formally announces his opening.
The new 6,000-square foot gallery, with the enormous Morrison Art Storage Facility (MASF) behind it, continues the dramatic impact Morrison has had on the art scene in Kent since he first opened in 1999. In recent years, the impact of the gallery has expanded internationally from Kent to New York City, where he has worked with the Broadway Mall Association, to other influential exhibitions across the international landscape.
Morrison has a passion for artists and their work. The dynamic forces of the Morrison Gallery quickly took hold and grew, along with its original physical space in Kent Barns, which became renowned for a “museum-like” quality. Fifty-three artists, sculptors and painters, have shown their works there over the years.
The gallery is located at at 60 North Main St., 860-927-4501, info@morrisongallery.com.
