Becky Webb Guynn, Robert and Theresa Lazo and Penelope Moseley purchased the building on July 1, 2005 and opened the doors on Monday, August 8, 2005 after a short period of renovation. The concept of City Gallery had been a dream of Bob's for years. Over coffee one morning in late June the quartet began talking about possible buildings for such an adventure. While strolling around Main Street, they noticed a small, single story building just made for a gallery, long and narrow. Cell phones came out of pockets and the current owner was immediately contacted. It was a match made in heaven. A decision was made within days to open Galax's only fine art gallery.
