Through investments in artist live\/work spaces, and the creation of the first cooperative gallery in the district, he helped shape the concept and the reality.  <\/p>\n<p> Larry recently announced his resignation as Director of Gallery 117. His departure creates a void that, hopefully, will be filled before the gallery closes it&#8217;s doors permanently.  <\/p>\n<p> I met with him at his home in the East Village, and we had a wide-ranging conversation about the history of the Arts District, the gallery, the unique challenges associated with supporting the arts in Long Beach, his own work with wood, and his ideas about what the future holds.  <\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  style=\"visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;\"
