Rie Muñoz Gallery in Juneau to close after nearly 50 years

The Rie Muñoz Gallery in Juneau is closing after 49 years as the family-run business shifts to an online model. The gallery, which opened in the Valentine Building in 1977, has served as a shop and exhibition space for the Alaska watercolor artist’s work. Muñoz’s artwork will remain available online and through Annie Kaill’s Gallery.
