In the spring of 2009 I co-founded the Art Gallery of Viera. Artist, Bobbi Q. Brown and I put together a hand selected team of seven artists and set up the co-op gallery in the Home Center at the corner of Murrell Road & Viera Blvd. We opened in June with many of the area’s most talented artists. Today our gallery is a hub of activity with classes, workshops, and monthly openings featuring other artist groups or themed shows.
Art Gallery of Viera - Founders
Seven original founders from left to right: Alex Stankiewicz, Linda Graham, Bobbi Brown, Jerry Hanzl, Suzan Brooks, Jeanette Drake, and me, Helen Wheatley.
It’s been an interesting and exciting first year, two of our founders have left, another has stepped up and Art Gallery of Viera has now closed at the Home Center. However, keep watching our website www.artgalleryofviera.com for exciting news about what is next!
It’s official! Art Gallery of Viera is moving to The Avenue, Viera. Look for it to open soon. Till then, lots to do and little time to do it.
