Red House Builders did the fabulous renovations, which took about six weeks. This is just a few days before opening.

We opened on December 17th, 2005 with a show of works by David Klein and Liza Cowan.

For February and March 2006 we showed work by H. Keith Wagner and Charlie Hunter.

For April and May we showed photographs by Cara Barer and David Putnam.

June July and August were SP Goodman's months.

More than a thousand people saw the show, Paper Play by Alison Bechdel and Phranc, The Cardboard Cobbler, which was up for September and October.

We're ending the year with Artifact:Made To Use.

We also had two mini shows. Our Little Secret by Christy Mitchell and Wylie Sophia Garcia.

and Northern Whites by Paige Russell, Jed Crystal and Tabitha Henry.

Bread and Puppet Theater did a fund raising performance here, to raise money to fix their barn and museum.

Flashbags threw a flashion show and launch party.

Alison Bechdel had launched her new book, Fun Home: A FamilyTragicomic here in June.

This fall we opened up the back room for permanant inventory and additional showroom. You'd think that a place this huge would have enough room for everything, but there is so much talent around here, and so many enticing and wonderful works of art and furniture and artifact to show, that even this room isn't going to be enough. Oh sure, I could cram things together and build more walls, but one of the best things about pine street art works is the spacious loft- like atmosphere, and I'm not willing to sacrifice that. I wouldn't be happy, and I don't thing you'd like it much either. But, it will do for now, and who knows, maybe there's a psaw annex in the future.
