If it's a gallery and people you'd like to foster relationships with. You're right that the gallery world is commercially, socially, & artistically just a different space regardless of ability, but there's always a social aspect to art. If you see it enriching your experience, then sure.

Give it another month-6 weeks. Plenty of companies with too much to lose keep stuff tightly under wraps to prepare for/assess the damage and then later feign ignorance of the extent of their compromise. Maybe it's fine, maybe not.
