UpStares Gallery in the news

Whistler's Pique newsmagazine ran a story on the UpStares gallery:
A new home for the arts
Local artists team up to create Up Stares Gallery in downtown Squamish

By Holly Fraughton

The 1,000 square foot unit just upstairs from H&R Block on 37991 Cleveland Avenue has been used as an office, a private home, and now the space is being reincarnated as a new artistic hub for the community.

"Actually, it's one of our heritage buildings. It's old - it's been in the flood, razed," said Judy McQuinn, one of the proprietors of the new business. "That's what makes it so interesting, because it's almost like a maze - it's got seven rooms! So that gives us lots of wall space."
