Planet Art Gallery To Close Doors, Continue Business Online

With a mix of works by regional artists and crafts people, Planet Art Gallery opened on May 1, 2006, along a popular stretch of Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon.

Over time, gallery owners, potters and glass artists Gregory and Linda Mitchell assembled close to 100 artists and artisans who sold on consignment creations including paintings, jewelry, blown glass and turned wooden items.

The gallery site at 632 Washington soon will be history, but sales will continue online. "The gallery had been doing fairly well, but we experienced a definite slowdown in sales from September on, presumably due to the recession," Mrs. Mitchell said.

I am so glad that I am not a politician. I couldn't handle being interviewed and misquoted. This is a fluff piece so it really isn't a big deal, but it's strange to see things you don't really say quoted in a paper. I rarely use the word ironic, and only for things that are really ironic.

Thank you all for stopping in to the gallery to wish us well. We still live in Mt. Lebanon and we hope to see you all at events around town!
Now on to the next thing...
Let us know if you need a melted bottle cheese plate. :)
