On October 14, local artist Joseph Bradley reported on Instagram that his art studio caught on fire and “burned to the ground.” Bradley notes it remains unclear how the fire began, but he intends to continue rebuilding.
“I’m heartbroken,” he said, adding that the studio was being built to be ready for move-in later this year in December. After noting the loss, Bradley said he is “simultaneously devastated and hopeful- as I’m reminded the things I truly care about are people… and everyone is ok.”
The studio, located on Pendleton Street, was announced in August of 2021 also on his Instagram, noting that this had been a process “in the works for three long years.”
Bradley is set to have an exhibit featuring his paintings at The Anchorage after the restaurant teamed up with Art & Light Gallery. The exhibit opens virtually on the gallery’s website and in person on Oct. 25 through Jan. 14 at 587 Perry Ave.
