A little history
Gallery describes itself as an art bar for the individual and the eccentric, a mindful, immersive space where artists show their work and the week fills with live music, dance nights and art shows. PYGMALION, the Urbana festival that runs September 24 to 27, 2026, uses it as one of its downtown club stages.
