Gallery, a new art bar, will open in Downtown Urbana, in the space formerly occupied by NOLA’s.

According to owner Jonah Weisskopf:

Right now, we are entering the tech phase. We will hardwire 8-10 projectors in the interior for video projection on all walls. A video distribution network will let us take a single video input, say of ocean waves, and blanket that shot around the entire space. Gallery will be a unique venue for bands, DJs, and performers who want to explore having a substantial visual component to their show.

It should be a really cool place once it’s done. For updates, follow the bar on Instagram.
