Celebrating the life of Jane Suddendorf 

It seems only fitting that the last show Gallery 224 founder Jane Suddendorf curated would be named “To be continued …” They are words that Jane often spoke in conversations with those close to her and the gallery.  That’s what Jane would have wanted … for us to gather, let go, and allow these things to become what they will.
