FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Greetings to Our Hub on Canal Supporters

Welcome to 2019! The Hub on Canal took some large steps forward in 2018. You helped us achieve that and we thank you for the support and encouragement. We expect to do even more in 2019, and have been planning many exciting events, exhibitions, debuts of new artists and expansion of our unparalleled outreach activities. You won't want to miss Jazz 'n Blues VI later in January, Chalk it Up!, our third annual Student Film Festival, Dancin' in the Streets and the Razzle Dazzle student fashion show at the Brannon Center--and that's just a sample of what we're up to in the first half of the year. Be sure to stop by The Hub often to see the new works of our artists and the excellent monthly exhibitions we will host in the Founders Gallery.

Notable among the first half of the year's events is our second annual fundraising gala, An Affair of the HeART - A Night in Havana to be held on March 9. Your ticket will transport you to mid-1950s Cuba and the fare provides us with the funds to carry out our mission. It's a win-win. Tickets go on sale to Hub members on 1/2/19. Non-members can buy tickets on 1/7/19. Tickets are limited and will go fast, so do not delay.

I will close with two developments that I want to bring to your attention. First, Gallery One Twenty is now closed. Owner Terry England (yes, my wife) is closing her art gallery two doors east of The Hub in favor of her new project, Jane's Art Center, at the corner of Magnolia and Downing. The Hub will take over her Canal Street space. Watch for new and exciting developments from The Hub in that location. Secondly, our tenant at 124 Canal Street, French Quarter Grille, has sold their assets to Henry and Michele Salgado of Spanish River Grill fame. Henry and Michele will soon transform 124 Canal Street into The Local Pearl, an oyster bar. We welcome the Salgados to Canal Street.

It's looking to be a great 2019!

Richard England, President
