The document summarizes the experiences of an art gallery owner over two years in three parts. In the first part, the owner took a risk in opening the gallery in an art-indifferent town but did so with an open heart. In the second part, balancing the finances and managing many artists was challenging. In the third part, the owner found both honest friends and those who were lost, but persevered by bringing in artists and performances that made the local art community happy.
