79 Walker Street, aka the General Tools building, has been home to Art in General since 1981. All this will change at the end of the year. In December, “they will not be renewing the lease on their SoHo/Tribeca space,” reports Cait Munro with artnet News. The staff and board are in the process of looking for a new home.

Taking up the 4th and 6th floors of the building, Art in General has commanded a substantial presence there. Since 2003, the building’s sidewalk-view storefront has been used as a project-space gallery, donated by General Tools. That company will also be moving, Munro reports. The company was acquired by High Road Capital Partners in February 2014.

How the acquisition and move will affect the nonprofit’s operations going forward remains unclear.
