Newmarket residents, a non-fishing question.

[pameladallaire]

Hi Everyone:

 

I need some help from those living in Newmarket.

 

I was contacted by an Art Gallery in Newmarket called "Select Art Galleries", located at 16686 Yonge Street. I have never heard of them and can't find any information about them on the internet other than a map to their store.

 

Has anyone ever seen this store (beside a framing shop) or has anyone ever been in the store? I am leary about sending paintings anywhere I haven't been.

 

Any help would be appreciated. I have talked to the woman by email but I would like to know more about the store from someone who has seen it.

Pamela, they are a legitimate gallery. I had some framing done there in the past. They have their own building at Yonge St and Mullock Dr.

Thanks Cast Away,

 

Who would think a gallery would want my paintings?

Me, for one.

They seem to have 2 business names, with very different looking Yellow Pages ads:

 

Select Art Galleries

 

Picture Frame Factory Warehouse

 

The Select ad points to www.selectart.ca, which just dumps at a placeholder Bell web page. I tried pulling Archive.org copies, and got the same placeholder going back years. No hints there.

 

However, I did stumble onto a page saying that Select has exhibited works by Barrie artist Melanie Springbett. She'd be a good person to ask about these people. Contact information is on her page.

 

Congrats, and best of luck!

Thanks all. You're a BIG help. I didn't know who to ask.

I have been there many times. They are a legitimate gallery, and framing store. They are quite well known in the area.
