The Rooftop Gallery Next Door

Adam Zhu, an artist, skateboarder, and photographer, has transformed a 9-by-15-foot former storage shed on his Chinatown rooftop into Market Gallery, a tiny exhibition space. The opening of Tucker van der Wyden's "Savage Love" drew about 200 visitors who walked through Zhu's one-bedroom apartment to reach the show. Zhu, who moved into the apartment in 2015, renovated the shed with contractor Andrew Kass, adding concrete walls and folding glass doors. The gallery has hosted seven shows, featuring emerging and established artists, and has become a platform for art in an unconventional setting.

Artists who didn’t make Minnesota State Fair get second chance in ‘Rejects’ show

The article reports on the 2025 'State Fair Rejects' show at Douglas Flanders & Associates Gallery in Minneapolis, which accepts artworks that were not selected for the Minnesota State Fair's juried fine arts exhibition. Artist Attila Ray Dabasi, who had been accepted regularly in the past but was rejected this year, is among about 75 participants displaying works like his sculpture 'Armageddon.' The gallery, led by owner Doug Flanders, started the show last year to give rejected artists a second chance to exhibit and sell their work, with all drop-offs accepted. The State Fair received 2,834 submissions but only 337 were chosen, highlighting the competitive nature of the fair.

Steve La Riccia’s journey through Eugene’s art scene

Steve La Riccia, gallery coordinator for the New Zone Art Gallery in Eugene, Oregon, is profiled for his decades-long journey through the local art scene. After traveling the West Coast and settling in Eugene in the 1970s, he worked at a food processing plant and sold illegal fireworks to buy a home. In 1991, after the Mayor's Art Show rejected many artists, La Riccia helped organize Eugene's first 'Salon De Refusés,' a show for rejected works, which shifted his focus from promoting his own art to supporting other artists. He later co-ran the New Zone gallery and became known for his SX-70 Polaroid manipulations until the company ceased film production in 2009.
