About Red Gate
Red Gate Gallery is a platform for experimental and socially engaged art. Rooted in the community of Wydown United Church, it invites artists and audiences to explore new ideas, question assumptions, and imagine shared futures through creative practice. The church’s commitment to inquiry and inclusion shapes Red Gate as a space where art and dialogue intersect.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 10 am - 3 pm
We recommend calling ahead to confirm the gallery is open. (314-721-5060 ext. 1)

Inner Vision
Opening Reception Saturday September 5, 6-8pm
Inner Vision brings together artists whose work considers inner knowing, reflection, spirituality, and the relationship between the visible and invisible. What do we see when we turn our attention away from the outside world and toward the world within? What do we see when we close our eyes, in our dreams, or in quiet moments? How can the practice of the spirit travel with us wherever we go? How do the Divine, the World, or Nature communicate with us, and what images do they use?
Through a range of artistic approaches, Inner Vision invites viewers to consider the relationship between the external and the internal and the ways meaning, insight, and wonder arise from within.
