Judy Sarosik, a beloved teacher, artist and gallery member, passed in November 2022. She wished to donate funds from the sale of some of her work to The Gallery/Mqt Artist Collective. Through conversations with her, her husband Roy, and gallery artists, it was decided to create a special “Judy Fund” to help support the gallery, build a rotation gallery, and to possibly offer a support scholarship to artists.

The Sarosik Rotation Gallery was designed by gallery manager Joy Bender Hadley and built by Mike Potts and Tamarack Custom Builders with over 1/2 the cost donated In-Kind. The first rotating exhibit was offered in the Spring of 2024.

The Gallery, Mqt has a full and exciting 2025 Calendar for the monthly rotations in their \\\”Judy Sarosik Ga
