Description

In 1988, Lonny Johnson (a founding member of Art/Not Terminal), started a one month lease to show a variety of his own art. At the end of November, other artists wanted to extend the lease further to display their own art until in 1989, Art/Not Terminal became a permanent fixture through the support of the completely volunteer individuals who set out to keep the artist-run and non-profit gallery operating. The new official location of Art/Not Terminal was located just a short from its original spot in the former Trailways bus terminal. The name comes from this double pun of being "not a terminal" and also that art itself is not "terminal." In fact in the early days, Art/Not Terminal Gallery used to get people wandering into the building actually looking for the bus terminal, which had since been moved just a few blocks away. Art/Not Terminal Gallery is an eclectic display of various works of art covering all different disciplines of painting, drawing, and sculpture. Be prepared to find young artists offering their work at reasonable prices assisted by the fact that the gallery is completely volunteer-run.
