I went to a few shows there and they usually had the same art on the walls. I loved their parties, they're a lot of fun, but they didn't seem to draw too many high dollar or serious art collectors.

"If you are a creative person, and you have an opportunity to be creative, consider yourself blessed. The rest is window dressing." i feel sad about lombardi's closing. thanks for that beautiful point.

This is a big loss, especially for emerging artists. Not many venue's in town show the breadth of work and provide an opportunity for the same number of artists to show their work. Lombardi created an inclusive and accepting environment for people to exhibit and feel accepted into a creative community.
