Downtown Toledo has a new gallery with an ecclectic twist. After many successful years in the automobile business Stas Krukowski has transferred his energy to the arts with partner Joe Jordan. "I wanted freedom and autonomy in a career and this is it – let art be the giver." His childhood, filled with art activities, is the impetus for the joenstas gallery, (in the former 20 North Gallery) on N. St. Clair. Future plans include art classes in drawing, hand building with clay, framing and mixed media projects; cooking classes and catered events; and beer and wine tastings. "I want a comfortable atmosphere and will have something on the stove every day for hungry patrons." View the gallery's first exhibit, Mother and Child, and meet Joe and Stas at their Grand Opening Brunch on Sunday, December 1, 1-5pm.
