"living with art" an interior design seminar
Gateway Gallery is partnering with one of St. Louis’ leading interior design professionals to host two free seminars for those seeking a little inspiration for their interiors. With the first seminar at noon and the second at 7 p.m. on Nov. 9 at Gateway Gallery, 21 N. Bemiston Ave., there are two opportunities to discover the latest design tips and advice, straight from one of the professionals, CJ Knapp, ASID, IDS.
Guests can learn how to include art in their homes to make a room stand out or find out how to use art to enhance and draw the elements of a room together. They will discover unusual and learn the tried-and-true methods of placing art to give their spaces the same flair one might find in design magazines.
Guests are invited to bring photos from home, and Knapp will personalize solutions for any art-related or general interior design questions. From stately castles to cozy cottages, and traditional to ultra modern, her talents lend themselves to any style.
