Grand opening of Fort St. Gallery set for Nov. 7
Laura Deljanin of Laurette Designs is the curator of the new Fort St. Gallery, located on the second floor of an old Hudson’s warehouse located at 1915 Fort St. at Rosa Parks. The 22,000-square-foot space — “It’s insane, you could land planes there!” says Deljanin — includes a full bar, exhibition and performance space and a VIP reception area.
