RockPoP Gallery, an online gallery showcasing an amazing collection of rock music-related fine art prints, photographs, and collectibles, recently relocated its operations from Long Island, NY to a new home in Portland, OR. Gallery owner Mike Goldstein had been eager to return to the West Coast after nearly 12 years in the NY area, and after an exhaustive, 4-year-long search, found Portland to be the most desirable place to move his business (and his family).
"Portland is a city of great beauty and has been a cultural hub and incubator of new talent in the music and art worlds for a number of years, so it made the selection of where to relocate our business very easy. Many of the artists and publishers we work with are located on the West Coast as well, and with international shipping made easy and safe by the major carriers, we are confident that we're going to be able to continue offering the same level of attention and service we're now well-known for", says Goldstein.
Goldstein will continue to curate exhibitions of album cover-related artwork in galleries and other public spaces beginning in 2009. A schedule of events will be posted on the gallery's web site (www.rockpopgallery.com) and on its "Cover Stories" blog (www.rockpopgallery.typepad.com).
