Welcome to Gallery 1001, an artist-run cooperative located in Historic Downtown Winfield, Kansas. We showcase the works of our member artists and monthly guest artists. We take great pride in our commitment to the arts and in providing our community with the best of local and regional artists. Our member artists are a diverse group, and their artwork reflects a wide variety of styles and media. We are honored to be a part of the Winfield community, and we look forward to sharing our love of art with our neighbors and visitors.
Welcome to Gallery 1001
The Gallery
The Gallery 1001 is the brain-child of a few local artists who, in 2011, decided to open an art gallery in Winfield. The first place was in the building, previously ‘Petite Cleaners’ on 8th Street. The building had been remodeled by Maggie and Rich Baker. They opened “Imagine,” a place for coffee, books, gifts and fun. However, when the building sold, the Gallery had to close and find another location. It was about the same time that Mike and Ann Fell had purchased the old Higginbottom Grocery building on 1001 Main Street, and began to refurbish the interior. The original 1882 structure of the building is still all there, and standing proudly at the corner of 10th and Main in historic Downtown Winfield, and is listed as one of the ‘Historic Buildings’ in this quaint community. Thanks to Mike, Ann, and a few others whose dedication and hard work allowed the building to reopen in 2012 as The Gallery 1001. In fact, we still have a couple of the original members active in Gallery 1001 today! Gallery 1001 operates as an Artist Co-Op, whose members are also artists. Gallery 1001 is proud of the fact that we house some of the finest art, all created by local artists who reside within Winfield, Ark City, Udall, and parts of Cowley County. We also bring in some of the finest artists from a variety of artistic mediums and skills as our ‘Guest Artists’ that we feature every month.
