In Spring of 2017 Karen Hymer purchased the large, neglected building and began major renovations. The main gallery was completed and later a second gallery space, the Flash Gallery, finished in 2018. The studio provides space for workshops with a back door leading to patio and outdoor area ideal for small parties and events.
