Two friends from the Grand, Peter Lynn and Sean Alexander, are opening an art gallery tomorrow on Broadway in the Bostwick. Actually, it's directly below my old apartment, which is kind of cool.
The gallery is called The Helm, and it's going to be on the cutting edge of art. They're opening is tomorrow as part of the Third Thursday Art Walk.
After Critical Line closed and ArtRod dissolved, some people have questioned whether a gallery with similar aspirations would survive. But I think they are on the right track. Critical Line opened new shows every three months, which left the gallery empty of patrons and without sales for months at a time. The Helm will be changing shows monthly. They'll also be offering residency to artists looking to work for two weeks in Tacoma, which is totally awesome.
Looking forward to another cool place!

With a name like Sean Alexander, there should be quite a buzz surrounding this.
These guys seem like they have their #&(! together -- I bet it will work out. Not that I don't hope for Tacoma's sake that they have trust funds.
I like it! We endorse the helm.
