For those of you who love the Warehouse Arts Complex as much as we do, some bittersweet news just came in from owners Paul and Molly Ruppert. As you’ve already heard, Warehouse will close its cafe and music venue at the end of this month, thanks to skyrocketing property tax bills. Not that we had any doubts, but we’re pleased to learn that the Rupperts are organizing a closing night gathering to say goodbye to the artists and patrons who have made the space such a special gathering spot for the city.
This Sunday, July 29, will be the final regular bar night at Warehouse, and Paul tells us that starting at 7 p.m., amidst the Art in Heat show and Fringe performances going on that night, they’ll have a number of drink specials and be on hand to chat with anyone who wants to come by to wish them well — especially if you’d like to share your suggestions for the future of the Warehouse. If you can’t make it on Sunday, don’t worry — The Warehouse Theater and the Warehouse Gallery will open new shows in September, and a series of special events are already on the calendar throughout the fall.
