Nicole and Larry Leblond, owners of the Fisher Peak Art Gallery in Cranbrook, have announced that they are closing the gallery.

In a letter to participating artists they wrote, "We regret to inform you that due to an urgent family matter, we will be closing the Fisher Peak Art Gallery on September 10, 2012. We placed the gallery for sale in April and our plans were to either transfer ownership or close by 2013. However, personal situations have forced us to make the difficult decision to close now rather than later."

The popular gallery showcased dozens of examples of local Kootenay arts and crafts and was noted for its contemporary feel and professional presentation. The gallery is sure to be missed by both artists and the public as well. The Leblond's also stated, "We wish to thank each one of you for being a part of Fisher Peak Gallery."

The gallery opened to public in June 2010.

We wish the Leblond's success in their future endeavors.
