Compônere, Inc.

From1986 to 2019, Compônere, Inc. has been doing business as Compônere Gallery of Art and Fashion located in the University City Loop, the heart of a revitalized area of St. Louis City and St. Louis County, Missouri recognized for showcasing regional arts. The Gallery is now under new ownership Originally designed to be friendly and UN-gallery-like Compônere Gallery of Art and Fashion was one of the first galleries of its kind in the St. Louis area. According to owner and founder Eleanor Wilson Ruder, the name 'Compônere' is derived from the Latin compônere, as in 'coming together,' 'putting together,' or 'arranging objects.' In October 2010 Compônere expanded for the second time. Increasing its size by over thirty percent, the new space is devoted to sales of one of a kind jewelry, affordable original art and fine crafts, under the title "Artisans @ Compônere". The existing space has been redesigned to enhance the gallery experience yet retain the friendly and eclectic atmosphere that Compônere Gallery of Art has become to be known for. In 2011 Compônere will have had the pleasure of being a part of the St. Louis art community for 25 years. The Gallery of Art and the now Artisans shop will continue to embrace Eleanor's original vision of featuring the artistic talents of Missouri and the region. In late 2019 Eleanor Ruder (Compônere, Inc,) was pleased to sell ownership of the Compônere Gallery of Art to Dina Worzel (Compônere Galllery LLC).
