ABOUT US
Atrium Art Gallery features 14 local, regional, and national artists creating beautiful contemporary abstract works of art. Located in the heart of Downtown historic Charleston, for the last 12+ years.
A Charleston native, owner John Townsend grew up South of Broad Street on the Peninsula of Charleston just blocks from the gallery. After retiring from his career in the US Air Force, the National Weather Service, and his own weather software company, he was inspired to follow his passion for art and open an art gallery to create art.
He built a studio within the gallery to nurture his lifelong love for art and creativity. Upon visiting the Atrium Art Gallery, you will likely find John in his studio, creating his next mindful artistic creation.

"David paints to bring balance, love, passion, and gratitude for life into his art. He is inspired by nature and how we communicate within a world that is filled with chaos. Through his art, he quiets his thoughts and focuses on what is important in life. "

Original Mixed Media Collage on Panel
"I believe that good art is what moves the viewer, and aside from the pleasure the viewer gets from the experience, there is no requirement or need for meaning or relevance. Each viewer is the best judge of good art because he or she knows what affects them, and, really, in the end, that is the only criteria that counts." -John Townsend
