"Glass artist Karen Ehart arrived first 4 1/2 years ago and Beowulf Alley Theatre gave the block a prominent presence in June 2004. The Drawing Studio plans to move next door by September"

"We've been fortunate enough to stay patient," said Steve Gibson, Johnny's son and the property manager. "Beowulf are fabulous tenants. Now we couldn't be more pleased to be associated with The Drawing Studio."

For the present, Beth Dell, administrative director at Beowulf Alley, cherishes getting an arts neighbor.
"I am incredibly grateful to the Gibson family for having such a dedication to the arts to do this," Dell said. "I look forward to having people next door who have a true understanding of the arts. It will be a mini little arts district."
