Studio 1212 Art Gallery Relocates To Downtown Dunedin

DUNEDIN, FL — Studio 1212 Art Gallery, believed to be the oldest in the area, is excited about its new Downtown Dunedin location.

Fifty years ago, students of the internationally know artist, William Pachner, who wanted a place to gather, create, exhibit and sell their art, formed Studio 1212 Art Gallery in Clearwater, Florida.

For a time, William Pachner had his summer home and studio in the Clearwater area where he taught, painted and prepared for exhibits of his art at the Tampa, St Pete and Holocaust Fine Art Museums. He recently passed away in his home state of New York at the age of 102.

In April of this year, Studio 1212 open its doors in Downtown Dunedin, behind Anne’s Monroe Street Gallery at 234 Monroe St.

Studio 1212 is made up of a current membership of 24, award-winning artists who create a wide range of fine art paintings, collage, photography, fabric art and sculpture.

Studio 1212 has started its popular art critiques, which had to be closed due to COVID, at 10:00 am every third Tuesday and last Saturday, and are free and open to the public. Studio 1212 artists hope to begin holding art workshops in the fall, also closed down due to COVID.
