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.
Since 1986, Compônere has been located in the University City Loop, the heart of a revitalized area of St. Louis County recognized for showcasing regional arts. 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.'
