Hawk, 62, reported that her determination to near is partly due to the fact she is moving her aged mother to Florida and partly because a making will be made on the parking large amount guiding her gallery and “I didn’t want to offer with that.”
“It has absolutely nothing to do with the lease. The Wood Firms (her landlord) has been wonderful and has usually supported the Shorter North galleries.”

Hawk options to take a brief hiatus from the artwork scene and then return as an independent curator — with quite a few work opportunities previously lined up with area museums. She will continue to depict and champion artists, which include jewelry artist Marilyn Parker and crayon artist Christian Faur.
“Everything has adjusted and occasionally, I think the gallery design desires to alter,” Hawk stated. “I want to be a lot more fluid, extra out in the neighborhood, curating exhibitions, undertaking pop-up exhibits, perhaps executing artist tours.”
Hawk commenced gallery operate with the Riley Hawk Gallery, devoted to glass art and sculpture, which opened in 1986 in the Quick North. Hawk was married and divorced from Tom Hawk, proprietor of Hawk Galleries in Downtown Columbus. In 2004, Sherrie Hawk opened Sherrie Gallerie, specializing in contemporary artwork and artwork jewelry.
“She has a wonderful eye. I always suggest people today who are fascinated notably in a few-dimensional art to go to Sherrie Gallerie,” stated Michelle Brandt, owner of the Limited North’s Brandt-Roberts Galleries.
Some many years back, Brandt was a graduate college student composing a paper on Limited North gallery entrepreneurs and approached Hawk for an interview.

Hawk became a friend and mentor to Brandt, who eventually would individual her personal gallery.
“Sherrie is a great instance of a gallerist. She’s accomplished it for a prolonged time and performed it actually nicely,” Brandt explained. “But there are not a great deal of us — maybe a dozen in the Short North — so when you reduce just one you eliminate a great deal. I’m delighted for her making her personalized choice, but I’m unfortunate for the Shorter North.”
In addition to Brandt-Roberts Galleries, remaining Shorter North Galleries include things like, amongst other folks, the Emergent Artwork & Craft, Hammond Harkins Galleries, Lindsay Gallery, Marcia Evans Gallery, Sean Christopher Gallery, Sharon Weiss Gallery, and Studios on Large Gallery. The Sarah Gormley Gallery not too long ago introduced options to relocate in Downtown Columbus.

Brandt claimed she thinks the Brief North gallery scene will stay solid and that it is augmented by a vigorous artwork scene throughout Columbus.
“I’m an advocate that the arts be big in the town instead than just concentrated in a single district,” Brandt reported, mentioning specially the Franklinton art scene.
Hawk stated she thinks the Shorter North gallery scene continues to be sturdy.
“We have definitely good galleries in the Small North,” she stated. “When I go to other cities and look at their artwork districts, I never see everything as fantastic as the Brief North.”
Hawk explained she will retain her site (www.sherriegallerie.com).
“My largest sentiment is to say thank you,” Hawk mentioned. “I sense enormously grateful for this blessed operate and in particular to the artists and the people who’ve supported the gallery.”
