Mark Miller Gallery to Reopen in October
Renovations at the Mark Miller Gallery on Orchard Street are now spilling onto the street. The colorful Apple Day mural that was painted back in May was chopped apart to facilitate the elongation of the sidewalk shed.

According to the revamped official website, the Mark Miller Gallery will be reopening its expanded space at 92 Orchard Street on October 27. Here is a rendering of the new storefront:
