There were some who thought Janet Crawford was foolhardy to open a commercial art gallery in small town like Sackville — but forty years later, Fog Forest Gallery is a well-respected East Coast gallery and fixture of downtown Sackville.
To celebrate her 40 years in business, Crawford has invited 40 of her favourite artists to a special anniversary show, Forty Years in the Forest, which opens tonight with live music and refreshments at the Fog Forest Gallery on Bridge Street.
“It’s been a good ride for 40 years,” says Crawford, who has no plans to retire anytime soon.
“I want this to be a celebration, not so much of the gallery, but of the artists and the clients… because without the artists and without the customers, I wouldn’t have been here.”
