Ainsley and Colin Dempsey first opened The Gallery on 47th Street in 2010 inside their home.

The venture featured works from various artists throughout the NWT.

In 2016, the gallery was closed and Elkes Table was opened in its place at 4911 47 St.

Twelve years after they originally started, the Dempseys have reopened their gallery to the public again, nearby at 4909 47 St., but only for a limited time.

Ainsley shared her excitement.

Were really happy with the artists. Were happy with the community response and all of the social media response. We hope lots of people come out to enjoy it, she said.

Regarding the future of the gallery, she said, Were letting it go where its going to go. If theres enough artists interested that we carry forward to the spring, were going to do that.

Caitlin Herringer was one of the first people to attend the reopening of the gallery.

Post-pandemic, its really nice to see things like this start up again, get out and meet people, learn new things and see some really cool art. I love 窪蹋勛圖厙 art and I think its really unique and spectacular.
