Checkered Cottage specializes in Cardmaking and Scrapbooking supplies along with classes and a specialty gift selection. We have a large section of our shop also devoted to what we call Recreate which is a resale section for customers to bring in product they are no longer working with and resale it. Thursday evenings we have Decorative Painting classes. Our shop is considered the cheers bar of St. Louis.
Square One Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in the historic Central West End of St. Louis, Missouri. Established in 2024, Square One Gallery strives to showcase contemporary artistic voices while connecting St . Louis to the greater international arts community with a diverse, global roster of exceptional artists. At our core, we uphold the idea that without the artist, there would be no ‘art’. Rooted in our beliefs of transparency and honesty, we work diligently to cultivate long lasting relationships with artists and collectors alike. Our mission is to preserve the integrity of the artist as a steward of creativity for generations to come, while offering a knowledgeable collecting experience to guide acquisitions in a fair and open manner. With a robust exhibition program, collaborations, and cultural projects, we are committed to ensuring artists continue to lend their vital talents to inspire and enrich the world.
Opening soon
We aim to fill the voids in the STL art community. Community building, bridging gaps, anti-racism, LGBTQ rights, intersection of isolated collectives, promoting quality artwork and building trusting artist relationships are the focus of our work.
