It is with real sadness that we are writing to let you know that Neon Door is closing.

Practically, this closure means we won’t be publishing new pieces or working on a new exhibit at this time, and we don’t know when that will change. The current website, with Exhibit Nudity and all the published column pieces, will remain online indefinitely.

We sincerely hope to return to this space in the future. More information is available in our last (for now) newsletter: mailchi.mp/neondoorlit/th…
