In mid-October there were back-to-back gallery openings on McPherson. On October 17, Susan Barrett opened Barrett Barrera Projects at 4739 McPherson, the former location of Arlene Lilie, and auction house Selkirk. I’ll be posting more about the space and the exhibition, Saint-Louis to St. Louis: the City on the River meets River City, along with news about Barrett’s other new gallery and event space later this week.
In other CWE gallery news Carolyn Miles is moving Atrium Gallery, which has been at 4814 Washington for the past 6 years, to the Dorchester, 665 S. Skinker. (William Shearburn’s gallery is located in the same building.) The inaugural exhibition in the new space, featuring work by New York artist Leslie Dill, opens Friday, November 8, 6 to 8 p.m.
On Friday, October 18 there were openings at Duane Reed Gallery and Houska Gallery. Photographs follow:

Nicki,
Thanks so much for covering art openings. Your blog is the only media recognition CWE galleries routinely receive.

That’s what Duane Reed told me as well, which is kind of sad. So much has changed in the news business, including lack of coverage by art critics of smaller galleries. Glad I can do it. Thanks for the comment Nancy.
