Mini Dutch Moving on

Cue the Boyz II Men, for this weekend marked the final show at Logan Square's Mini Dutch apartment gallery. After two years of using her home to showcase the work of emerging artists, Director Lucia Fabio is closing shop and heading to Los Angeles with her fiance, Robert Andrew Mueller; "family health issues" are cited as the reason. Mini D's final offering was a one-night group show featuring the couple's collection of artworks made by friends and featured artists past -- including some, like Bushwick-bound Stacie Johnson, who have their own moving trucks parked and packed. It's so hard to say goodbye -- especially when Chicago has lost so many apartment galleries in the past year. But our loss will be L.A.'s gain: Fabio plans to apply the knowledge she's gained running a small gallery to future projects.
