Stellers Gallery is back on San Marco Square.
The art gallery, established in 1985, moved into 2,500 square feet at 1990 San Marco Blvd.
The space previously housed The Snob designer consignment shop, which moved to another spot on the square, and is known for another previous well-known tenant, Karl’s Clothiers.
The full-service fine art gallery had operated for 25 years at 1409 Atlantic Blvd. on the square until April 2017 when it moved next to Hugo’s Furniture on Philips Highway when the gallery building was sold.
That building now is the headquarters for the Jacksonville-based Industry West e-commerce furniture business.
Gallery owner and art dealer Scott Riley opened Stellers Gallery when he began to represent his brother, wildlife and environmental artist, C. Ford Riley. The gallery was named after one of Ford Riley’s first successful paintings, the Stellers Jay.
Their brother, Paul Riley, is an artist. Their late mother, Maureen, also was a painter and founded the “Artist Five” group of women artists.
Scott Riley has worked with many Jacksonville artists, including Jim Draper, Steve Williams and Dennis Campay.
