We are a contemporary and abstract art gallery in historic downtown Charleston, representing local, regional, and national artists created by John Townsend's vision. 

A Charleston native, John grew up a few blocks from the gallery, South of Broad, 

on the downtown peninsula. John opened this gallery in 2012, in a beautiful Queen Street building dating back to the 1860s, after retiring from careers in the US Air Force, National Weather Service, and starting his own company tracking hurricanes. He was inspired to follow his passion for art and to create artwork himself.



Julie Dunn, the Gallery Director, Art Consultant, and artist who has been with the gallery since it opened, has been pivotal in the gallery's evolution. She has chosen every artist and has curated every piece of art in the gallery for over a decade. Her 

creative soul, mixed with a business background, has been pivotal in creating this must-see art gallery in Charleston.
