That visibility's a huge boon to Stephen Daiter Gallery. Having started off and since maintained its core practice as a private dealership, what's happening in the art culture doesn't really matter if it isn't helping bring in new clients. And the place to harvest the greater share of those new clients in Chicago is River North. Steve is very firmly committed to River North as the primary location for the gallery scene, ... And he has two main reasons that he cites--besides the obvious that this is the primary gallery scene--parking and transportation the CTA and parking. But River North is the established art community, bar none--and West Loop is the younger gallery area--I mean, Rhona Hoffman and Carrie Secrist are established galleries, but as a district, they have a younger feel. Stephen had already been established on the national and international scene as a private dealer, then wanted to take the next step. The next step was logically the gallery.

I think, for us, up to this point, we've always operated as a destination gallery. If you want to come to Daiter Gallery and see a great show, you're always welcome, but you've got to come find us.
