freddy gallery church sale 2737217

Artist Joshua Abelow is selling the 100-year-old former Methodist church in Harris, New York, that housed his unconventional gallery Freddy from 2016 until last year. Listed at $649,000, the 3,500-square-foot building served as both Abelow's home and studio, hosting over three dozen exhibitions featuring artists such as Rafael Ferrer, Cheryl Donegan, Jörg Immendorff, and emerging talents. Abelow, who moved to Santa Fe with his family, hopes a creative buyer will continue using the space for cultural endeavors. He has since launched a new collaborative venue called Gene & Fred in Santa Fe with Keith J. Varadi's Gene's Dispensery.
