Teresa and I had a problem. We had been open at our new location for almost a year and still had no real plan on what to do with our very big and very empty second floor. We had a room with over 1500 sq feet, 12 foot ceilings and no way to get to it. For months we had been kicking around the idea of a cooperative gallery. It wasn’t until a very energetic photographer named Jason got involved and gave us the kick we needed to get it off the ground. In two months I built the stairs and with help, remodeled the second floor while Teresa and Jason ironed out the details of just how the gallery would work.

On September 6th 2002, 369 up opened and has been going full speed ever since. Teresa and I are proud to introduce the six artist in on the ground floor of the upstairs and invite you to come visit a unique cooperative gallery.

Empowering Sacred Nudes by Jason—capturing the inherent spiritual beauty that the creator instilled in all things.

Paperpalooza by Lisa Peterson—creative, whimsical three dimensional art through paper and form.

Singing Swan Images by Judy Benson—LaNeir-a photographer who looks for the simple beauty in nature.

McDoog Art by John McDougall—inspiring photography and images of usual shape with computer generated color.

Michael Thorniley—paints from the image the mind remembers in flowing lines of land and sea.

Ron Garrelts—from the click of the shutter the work crosses the spectrum of still life to abstract.

369 Up is located at 369 East Main in Ashland, on the second floor at The Jewelry Studio.
