Gallery 111 has 10 founding members, led by the young and ambitious Hannah Schroeder, who came up with the idea while volunteering in an art classroom at River Heights Elementary School. “I noticed how beautiful the student art was. … Then I realized that there are very few galleries that show elementary art,” she said. These thoughts sparked her interest in one day owning a gallery where children could show their artwork, and it inspired her to think of something she could do in the community right now.
