the end
It is with a heavy heart that I present the end of mini dutch. Due to some family health issues, I will be leaving Chicago and moving to Los Angeles at the end of summer. It has been very challenging for me to come to this desicision, but in the end, I know that I need to be with my family during this difficult time.
I love Chicago, and I love what this city has given me: an amazingly supportive art community and the opportunity to run mini dutch. I am so saddened to leave all of this behind— I hope that I may find a fraction of Chicago’s comradely spirit.
I want to thank everyone for being so supportive in this endeavor. These past two years have been amazing. The knowledge gained from this small curatorial project has been tremendous. I can only hope that these experiences will lead me into solid future projects. If you have not been to mini dutch this is your last chance, and if you have been to mini dutch, please come back one last time, to say goodbye.
mini dutch will end with two more shows: the first is Caroline Picard’s Twilight of the Vanities. It opens this Saturday, May 30th and will run until June 28th. mini dutch’s last show will be a collection show: a one night only event on Saturday, July 11th. I hope to see everyone there. Also, My Turn is in process right now at Hyde Park Art Center’s Artist Run Chicago until July 5th.
With love, always,

Good luck in Los Angeles Lucy! You did a wonderful thing with minidutch and I'm sure the future only holds good, new, exciting things. We'll miss you, but your family needs you and is no doubt happy and appreciative of your coming home. The best to you and Andy! We love you both very much.

You, Andy and Mini Dutch will be missed. Thank you for being here and for partaking in making the Chicago art scene more interesting. I wish you all - including your family the best of luck with it all - and happiness too. We will all look forward to hearing about the great things you will get involved in on the West Coast. Keep in touch!
