Compônere Gallery was founded March 1986 prominently located across from landmark Blueberry Hill, in University City’s bustling Loop district. Componere has offered St. Louis’s residents and visitors an eclectic mix of handcrafted art for over two decades.
Compônere is a favorite stop for people of all ages. The gallery more than lives up to the meaning of the Latin word compônere: “to arrange or put together” we feature artist that lives in the area. Owner Eleanor Ruder, a retired Art Teacher, founded the gallery. She works creatively and tirelessly to bring together in the sunny, 3,600-square-foot space, works of art that resonate with shoppers seeking unique creations that are a joy to wear or display in their homes, or to give as a very special gift.
