Downtown Gainesville’s Gallery on the Square recently expanded into the space next door in Main Street Market and becoming a co-op, owned and operated by multiple local artists. Co-owners Lynn Kelly, left, and Connie Reilly chat Wednesday afternoon inside the new space.
From the sidewalk of the downtown Gainesville square, a bright room with oil paintings shining like gemstones can be seen through the windows of Main Street Market. Gallery on the Square has operated in the downtown market for years, but the local business recently moved into a larger space in the market that is viewable from the storefront. “We’re so excited about our new place,” said Paula Hoffman, one of the founding artists with the gallery.
