A staple of the South Main Arts District for nearly 20 years, artist David Bunk is on the brink of closing his gallery — like many of his fellow artists in the past decade.
But Bunk has a plan to stay on South Main, but it requires help from the community.
The building at 136 G.E. Patterson Avenue that serves as both his home and office is being sold, and the new owners may not renew his lease, which is up in December.
