GALLERY HAPPENINGS - January 2026
A New Year Brings Change
by Thea Nordling

Happy New Year!

Thank you, Moab community and visitors, for your steadfast support of Gallery Moab over the years. We wouldn’t be here without you! Our cooperative gallery of local artists has been a labor of love since our humble beginning in 2014. By supporting and encouraging each other we’ve grown and thrived as individual artists and as a creative community. Along the way we have lost members but also gained new ones who have brought in fresh energy and vision. It’s been a joy to share our love of our superb landscape with the public through our art.

The darkness and quiet of winter is a time to rest, reflect on the past and recharge for the coming year as the sunlight slowly returns. Our last day of operation this year will be December 31st. We will not be open in January. During this closure the building will be re-roofed and remodeled. On reopening, our neighboring business, Bonjour, will occupy the northern portion of our current space, and our new entrance will face Main Street. Currently we do not have the details about how long the project will take or exactly what our gallery space will look like. Updates will be posted on our website and on Facebook. While we are closed our art will still be available for viewing on our website. To purchase an item, contact the individual artist or call 435-220-0891.

Change is inevitable and adaptation is essential. We’ve made it through setbacks before, such as our grand opening at 59 South Main, which was also the day we closed to “slow the curve” when the Covid pandemic hit in March of 2020. When we reopened it was a banner year! We are optimistic that we will continue in the coming year to be the place where our friends, neighbors and visitors come to enjoy a diversity of original art and creative camaraderie.

Thanks again to all our art loving patrons throughout our 11 years as a Main Street gallery!
