New year, new location. Atrium Gallery opens with “Latin Beat”

Change is good, filled with promise, and oftentimes gutsy. That's how I would describe Carolyn Miles's decision to move Atrium Gallery from a location on McPherson with street presence two blocks north to a first floor space without (with only a sign out front) in the Pierce Arrow Building, 4814 Washington.

Carolyn, owner, founder, and director of Atrium Gallery found larger and more expansive exhibition space where she plans to continue bringing high quality,
interesting exhibitions featuring contemporary national and international artists to St. Louis. The focus of the gallery in its new location will be expanded to emphasize personal service introducing
people to new artwork, and assisting in developing collections. Carolyn, who has operated the gallery for 26 years, will devote two days a week to holding private appointments with clients in the
gallery and in their homes, and will continue to work with businesses assisting with collections. She is excited also to be able to introduce programs and other special events on these days to enhance
the experience of learning about and acquiring fine contemporary
art. Atrium Gallery will be open Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 to 5 for drop-in visitors.

The new gallery space with its large exhibition
room is in a building with other occupants involved in the arts (Barbara Holtz, Yvette Woods, Terry Whittle, Judith Shaw) and
other creative professions (Diann Cage Design, architectural firms AOR and SOA, etc.). Carolyn continues: "…it gives us
opportunities we were looking for, but didn't have in the previous
space. We truly love the new gallery, and hope many wonderful things
will happen here."

Atrium Gallery, Thurs. – Sat. 10 to 5, Tues. & Weds. by appt., 4814 Washington Ave. Suite 110, (314) 367-1076.

Be sure to stop by Friday evening for a champagne reception introducing "Latin Beat," see below:
