As life often has a way of intervening, the sudden loss of my eyesight earlier in the year resulted in having to temporarily close the doors of our beloved Dykeman Young Gallery & Vintage Emporium.


The Dykeman Young Gallery and Vintage Emporium has

become an important part of the downtown Jamestown community and a point of attraction. The gallery has given the local arts community, a professional space, to showcase and promote their work and as forum for discussion and discovery of regional arts.  

After undergoing surgery, which helped to partially restore my vision, I am now drawing up plans to reopen the Gallery & Emporium. However, given the nature of this great undertaking, I'm faced with the challenges of added expenses in order to re-adapt the daily operation of the business. It is, indeed, a challenge, but it is one that may be overcome with the community's help.


In ways big and small, I am calling upon your support, financial and otherwise, as I begin planning and implementation of the day to day business operations of the Dykeman Young Gallery & Vintage Emporium. Dykeman - Young Gallery and Vintage Emporium.
