Seems like just last week we wrote about North Ferrisburgh artist Rod MacIver (pictured right) opening Heron Dance Wild Nature Art Gallery in a capacious, light-filled space next to the Winooski Welcome Center. In fact, it was February 27. And already, the gallery is closing.
It wasn’t MacIver’s choice, and he’s none too pleased about it.
When he moved in, MacIver anticipated giving his successful web-based enterprise — selling his Tao-accented watercolors, cards, prints and calendars — a bricks-and-mortar presence. He also looked forward to having the space to accommodate much bigger paintings and, MacIver told Seven Days in February, planned to invite a sculptor to show large-scale, freestanding works, as well.
The Winooski venue, with its 24-foot-high ceiling and proximity to the broader art market of Chittenden County, seemed perfect. Plus, the rent was low.
So what happened?
