CLEVELAND, Ohio — Art galleries — especially the really good ones — are a rare and delicate form of retail. They require sympathetic urban environments, good landlords and smart dealers to make them work, especially during a crisis such as the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Those factors make it noteworthy that the Hildebrandt Building at 3619 Walton Ave., an early 20th-century meatpacking plant turned into a creative hive for artists and entrepreneurs on the city’s West Side, is now home to Abattoir, a new for-profit gallery whose name, which means slaughterhouse in French, takes inspiration from its historical setting.
