Retropolis will be the fourth exhibition held at the new GArtH Gallery of Art at the Hadley Building, 657 Main Street, Worcester. This exhibition is presented by ARTSWorcester and will feature contemporary painting, mixed media, and photography by Tim Gannon, Joanna Matuck, and Allen Palmer. These three artists, all working in different media, come together with a modern view of vintage themes.

 

The GArtH Gallery is located in the historic Hadley Building.  Constructed in 1923, the building originally served as headquarters for the Hadley Furniture Company. The company retained the space throughout the Great Depression and the following decades before selling the building and business to the David Burwick Furniture Company in 1964.  The Burwick Company abandoned the building in the early 1990s, and the building sat vacant until it was purchased and renovated by the Economic Development Finance Corporation just over one year ago.
