Gallery 510 has a new home at 160 East Main Street, Suite 100.

In 2005 we sold the property at 510 West Decatur Street and Gallery 510 Arts Guild, Ltd. moved into downtown Decatur for increased visibility and service to participating artists.

Our mission is:

• to nourish an interest in the visual fine arts as a public service
• to act as a progressive source of cultural and educational enrichment
• to act as a venue for professional and emerging artists

Our original home now standing at 510 West Decatur Street, Decatur, Illinois, and the origin of our name was built by John K. Warren for his family in 1884. Mr. Warren was Decatur's youngest mayor at age 33. In 1895 the home was sold to the Shellabarger family of Shellabarger Grain Mills. It remained in their family until 1953. David Shellabarger, at age 36, was mayor of Decatur .

With the help of a loan from the City of Decatur, initial improvements were accomplished and we opened our doors to the public in 1992.   The stately ivory and blue building  in Decatur's Historic District served us well for almost 15 year.   It sits on one and one-half lots at the northwest corner of College and West Decatur Streets just four blocks west and three blocks south of the downtown area. Attempts were made to keep the exterior and much of the interior of the home unchanged and historically correct. The Gallery rooms were handicap accessible.

Our new home is the 2nd move downtown. We had a short stay on Prairie Street but now are permanently located on East Main Street around the corner from the Madden Arts Center downtown. 

We acquired the framing business of NOVA Gallery of Art & Framing and now provide custom professional framing along with our artists’ original work. The Gallery 510 office shares space with the framing business and the art exhibition and sales area.
