After 13 years in Southwest Minneapolis, Simply Jane and ArtAble moved to be closer to George Floyd Square, “to bring some love and light with our mission to serve the community with rewarding art programming,” board member Jane Elias said. Jane started the business and her daughter, Gayl, is now the director of the studio.
