About Greller Gallery
Our Mission
The Greller Gallery is not just a place to view art, but a space where visitors can find comfort and draw strength during challenging times. Nestled on the walls inside a veterinary specialty hospital, we host up to four exhibitions a year along with a wide range of events, including receptions, artist talks, workshops, and special pop up shows around town. We believe that art has the power to inspire, heal, challenge, and transform people, and are committed to presenting exhibitions that uplift both our community and each other.
Our Artists
We strive to showcase the best and most diverse art from both established and emerging artists. We feature a wide range of styles and mediums from classical paintings to photography to contemporary installations. Our goal is to provide a platform for artists to share their unique perspectives and for art lovers to discover new and exciting pieces.
Over the years, we have had the honor to work with many incredible and diverse artists from San Antonio including Danté Fenolio, MoMo and Pompa Brown, Grant Manier (Houston), Heather Gauthier, Yvette Shadrock, Carla Veliz, SAY Si Art Students, Paige Holland, Antonia Richardson, John Bramblitt (Houston), Allison Gregory, Louis Vega Trevino, Patti Schermerhorn, Elizabeth Elequin, Albert Gonzales, Juan de dios Mora, Elias Vieyra and many others.
Our Non-Profit Support
Each of our exhibitions aims to provide hope and inspiration while also promoting support and awareness for different non-profit organizations in the community.
Since June 2014, the Greller Gallery has raised thousands of dollars via its exhibitions for various animal and environmental non-profits. Beneficiaries of this support include the Center for Conservation & Research at San Antonio Zoo, Bat Conservation International, Nature Conservancy Group, Orangutan Foundation International, Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation, San Antonio River Foundation, Wayward Whiskers Cat Rescue, SNIPSA, Guide Dogs of Texas, San Antonio Humane Society, Therapy Animals of San Antonio, Train a Dog; Save a Warrior, Stray Cat Adoption of Texas, Animal Defense League and more.
Our Unique Location
The Greller Gallery is located inside San Antonio Veterinary Specialists (SAVSPets.com) - a referral veterinary clinic specializing in oncology, ophthalmology, and surgery.
Clinic and Gallery owners, Dr. Andrew and Faryl Greller, have always believed in the power of art combined with compassionate veterinary care to help create an ambiance that promotes both healing and hope. With a teamwork approach, the Grellers aim to create this unique experience while visiting SAVS. Faryl curates beautiful art shows for clients to enjoy and find refuge, while Andrew runs his ophthalmology practice, helping patients live happy and healthy lives with minimal discomfort and excellent vision.
