The GretchenCharltonArtGallery is a not-for-profit art gallery created in 2000 by Walter Charlton to pay tribute to his wife Gretchen and her incredible legacy of service to the arts community in KankakeeCounty.  The mission of the GretchenCharltonArtGallery is to develop and promote an awareness of the arts in our community.  The Gallery acts as an advocate for local and visiting artists from a variety of genres.  It also offers an opportunity to people of all ages to learn about and appreciate the visual arts through our year round exhibits, tours, workshops and programs offered for all ages.  The Gallery is uniquely located on the campus of PresenceHeritageVillage, a senior facility in Kankakee, IL.
