Mooneyham Art is a contemporary studio art gallery located in historic downtown Alton, Illinois, founded and curated by nationally recognized artist Charles Mooneyham. Built on the belief that art is healing, the gallery serves as a creative space "... where art, community and wellness meet” (Charles Mooneyham). The gallery also serves as Mooneyham's personal studio where visitors can come in and watch him paint live.

Rooted in Mooneyham’s decades of experience as an artist, curator, educator, author, advocate and behavioral health clinician, Mooneyham Art champions art accessibility, authenticity and the transformative healing powers of fine art. The gallery represents a carefully curated roster of local, regional, national and international artists, including celebrity artists. Each artist is chosen for the strength of their story, the integrity of their craft and the emotional resonance of their work.

Mooneyham Art also hosts events that are free to the public, including rotating exhibitions, community events, workshops, art expos and artist talks designed to uplift emerging voices while celebrating established creators. The gallery is known for its inclusive ethos and its commitment to providing opportunity for artists who may not otherwise have access to traditional gallery platforms, while simultaneously creating an environment that is equally accessible to emerging collectors.

From high-end fine art to handcrafted fine jewelry, the gallery’s collection is ever evolving, reflecting the diverse experiences and perspectives of the artists it represents. Every piece carries a narrative to foster connection, inspire hope, promote wellness and demonstrate that creativity is a luxury and a lifeline.

Mooneyham Art continues to grow as a cultural anchor in the Greater St. Louis region, offering a welcoming environment that eliminates gatekeeping, increases art accessibility and is inviting to all.

"I can think of no better way to lift a community than through the empowerment of Art." — Charles Mooneyham
