DeKalb Gallery, a fine art gallery created by Dan Grych in July 2000 to promote artists, to sell original art on a consignment basis, and to provide a fine art venue for the community. Since its inception the gallery has exhibited the work of local artists, featured group and solo exhibitions, and also provided specialty picture framing to protect precious items from time and sun fade, digital documentation of fine art, and individual internet galleries for artists. The gallery closed its doors on September 6, 2008. The internet fine art gallery, dekalbgallery.com, remained to further promote primarily northern Illinois artists. After a brief sojourn to Arizona, for professional, health and pursuing personal art endeavors, Dan and his wife, Nancy, have returned to DeKalb. A division of DeKalb Gallery, called The Art Box, has been opened primarily to provide specialty picture framing and to exhibit the fine art that dekalbgallery.com has had the privilege of doing so.
