Previous updates:
October 17th update: The windows have all been replaced and the lower half of the building has new cedar clapboard siding with a fresh yellow coat of paint and freshly painted white trim. The upper exterior of the building is waiting for new imitation cedar shakes, dark red vinyl shingle siding is to be installed along with the final trim on the outside off the upper windows.
November 5th update:
The building remains closed at this time due to an upgrade in the original renovation plans. The entire 2nd floor carpeting has been removed and will have new sub-flooring and laminated floor boards installed in the gallery, office and storeroom. The stairs and chair storage area will get new carpeting, and all new window blinds will be installed by the end of November. The interior walls and stairwell have been freshly painted white.
The building exterior is pretty close to being completed, with the upper floor dark red siding (on back order) and new PSAA signage to be installed by mid-December.
We are hoping to open up the gallery again in early January with our Fabulous Fakes Show. Please watch your email messages for any updates on the opening in the next couple of weeks.
November 12th update:
The 94 Stafford Ave project is drawing to a much anticipated close. Our windows are complete; our supplies and furniture have been packed up, thanks to dedicated PSAA members; and are being moved to an on-site storage pod provided by Stafford Township.
Our floor is being rebuilt, and the ratty carpet will be replaced with a dark, grayish laminate in the main room, office and storage room. Gray carpeting will run up the stairs and into the chair storage room. All interior work is expected to be completed by mid-December. Vinyl siding for the upstairs exterior is another story, it’s on backorder. We still hope to be fully operable to start off the new year.
December 3rd update:
The subfloor is finished... the new floor, the pod contents and a new (but used) desk should be installed next week. Air conditioning wall units to replace the old window ac's are being considered.
We can't wait to get back into the Stafford Gallery for classes and new shows!
