Press Kit
Opened September 18th, 2023 Diana Stelin: Art/Education/Design brings together all sectors of the creative world. Our location in Coolidge Corner, a high-foot-traffic spot in the emerging cultural borough of Brookline in Boston, MA allows more traffic, more visibility, and more community awareness. The namesake founder, Diana Stelin, has pursued every avenue of the art world throughout her 25 years in the field and, for this new venture, she brings them all together. A Best of Boston award recipient, Stelin's school, The Plein-Air Art Academy, offers a wide variety of live and online courses, workshops and revolutionary motivational presentations on the power of creativity. The space allows for a bright and open gallery space flexible for any facet of the arts.
Our Story
The front of the space is a high end gallery with two rooms: the main space houses the group shows, while the auxiliary space is dedicated to solo spotlight. The back is a classroom setting for children, teens and adults. Diana pushes the functional boundaries of an art gallery in a logistically brilliant way by inviting corporate events and professor talks; artist-led workshops and wine & paint events.
The gallery hosts rotating exhibits featuring female artists who work across a range of media, including fashion design. Hosting a small number of artists maintains ideological consistency in the group shows and ensures that each artist has a solo exhibition within a year of joining. The back of the space operates as an art school for all ages, offering a range of classes for students serious about art. The venue is also available for rent for birthday parties, corporate retreats, private events & celebrations, author talks, networking events, and more!

Our Story
What do we stand for?
Our true passion is Creativity: getting everyone to recognize it resides within each of us. Diana Stelin is the Founder of the SPARK strategy, which is a modality to heal burnout, a unique method to engage participants and create a sense of belonging, a practice for constant innovation, and most importantly a technique to achieve higher productivity through Flow. We love empowering kids, teens and adults to foster a profound connection to self and surroundings.
As a gallery we emphasize and lift up female and queer voices in the artist community, espoused by Diana's personal story as a female artist in a decreasingly male-dominated space. Artists lead the curative direction, but collaborate with the team. Furthermore, artists maintain full agency regarding their oeuvre.
