Gail Cahalan Conley, Owner

Gail Conley has partnered with her husband, Dr. Patrick Conley, in local real estate development projects for more than two decades. Some of her more notable initiatives include the construction of thirty-nine scattered site single family and duplex homes for the Providence Housing Authority, the sale of forty home sites to SWAP and two dozen more to Omni Development Corporation, the gift of fifty-eight lots to the Providence Redevelopment Agency, the gift of fifty-five acres of land in Cumberland to the Seakonke Wampanoag Tribe.

Gail and her husband have generously donated the gallery space to GCG, helping to insure its long term success as the commercial real estate market in Providence continues to be more and more cost prohibitive for artistic venues.
