The latest dealer to announce a change up is Chelsea’s Sara Meltzer who sent out an email last week headed “New directions…” Meltzer, who ran her own gallery for over a decade,  said she plans to continue working with artists, but “more as a producer and agent,” according to her email.

The gallery’s co-directors, Rachel Gugelberger and Jeffrey Walkowiak are departing and Meltzer is moving into a new space at 525-531 West 26th Street, the same building where she had previously operated her gallery. Her artists included Jason Middlebrook, Nina Katchadourian and Peter Rostovsky.

“As times have changed for me both personally and in the marketplace, I am eager to embark on a new, more free-form model that will open up new kinds of opportunities,” Meltzer wrote in her email. She will collaborate with  “curators, collectors, writers and investors to promote artists in a more gratifying and productive way,” she wrote.

She launches Oct. 1 with a site-specific installation by Sarah Cain in conjunction with curator Miki Garcia, of the Santa Barbara Contemporary Art Forum and Shamim Momin of L.A.N.D.
