We've found a new gallery space!
1078 Gallery is pleased to announce that we are close to signing a 5-year lease on the building at 1710 Park Avenue (the old Sierra Market). We're excited and think the space has lots of potential!
Once we sign a lease, we'll begin the process of applying for a costly Use Permit with the City of Chico (required for this location, based on recent changes to city code, in order to have amplified music,) and transferring our beer license to this new address.
In addition to the $5,646 Use Permit required by the city, we're going to have construction costs for building out the space, finishing the walls, adding gallery lighting, and sprucing up the exterior of the building.
All of these expenses are going to add up quickly! We are estimating that successfully establishing ourselves in this new space could cost as much as $30,000.
We're going to need your help to make this transition happen—we'll be planning some serious fundraising for early 2018, and we may need letters in support of the Use Permit to present to the Chico city council. Of course if you just can't wait to help us out, you can always make a fast and easy donation on our website.
Stay tuned!
