HistoryOur gallery was the brain child of Cathy Dupertuis who had spent her childhood in Red Bud and moved away shortly after high school to broaden her horizons. After living in metropolitan areas and abroad, Cathy moved back to Red Bud when her father fell ill in 2004. Cathy's business was an Art Brokerage prior to returning and it seemed natural to open a brick and mortar location in her home town. The gallery began by inlisting the works of artists from around the country. Each artist would consign a specified number of pieces to the gallery and the works would continue to rotate as those artist and new artists brought new works. In 2007 Cathy expanded the services in the gallery to include custom framing; providing a valued service to the community and artists in the area. Today the gallery is open 5 days a week (Tue - Sat) and caters to individuals and businesses.SpecialtiesAt Arts and More you will find originals by artist's from around the country as will as Limited Edition Prints, and thousands of fine art prints available as well.
