The Satellite Gallery is housed in the front of Cold Coffee Media at 116 Depot Street, in beautiful downtown La Grande, promising to be a venue for cutting edge, contemporary exhibitions of work from local, regional and national artists. The gallery concept and space are the result of a collaborative effort between Cold Coffee Media and Waypoint Studio, a local artist’s collective.
Hard work and long hours were contributed by Waypoint members Kevin Boylan and Annie Eskelin to get the job done, and the design and remodeling of the gallery space was overseen by John Mueller, who is a local contractor and the general manager of Waypoint Studio. Before relocating to La Grande in 1996, he held the position of exhibition preparator at the Austin Museum of Art in Austin, Texas.
When asked about his vision of the Satellite Gallery, he said...
"This project has been a fantastic opportunity for me to bring my trade skills together with my previous gallery experience. The energy and teamwork that have converged to make this happen are just amazing, and I hope that we have created something that La Grande as a community will be proud to have."
