Artists may lose their gallery

LOCAL:

Art students might have to find a new gallery space.

The Santora Arts Building, which has housed college gallery space for more than 15 years, is up for sale at $6.75 million. If sold, SAC’s gallery might not be there by next spring.

“The new owner will have to honor our contract, which is over next year, but we hope that we can negotiate a new lease contract and keep our space,” Gallery Coordinator Caroline McCabe said, adding that gallery officials will look for other venues in the Artist’s Village if SAC loses the contract.
