SNW Gallery represents the finest of Kansas & regional artists working in a variety of mediums, including painting, print, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, ceramic, glass, photography, & jewelry.  

Strecker Gallery was started by Julie Strecker in 1980.  It became Strecker-Nelson Gallery in 2000, with Jay & Barbara Nelson at the helm.  In April of 2017, Alyn Pennington West & her husband Kevin opened it as Strecker Nelson West Gallery.  Three years later, Alyn & Kevin renamed this Downtown Manhattan institution SNW Gallery & Custom Frames.  SNW Gallery strives to maintain the high artistic standards for which Julie, Jay & Barb were known, & SNW Custom Frames offers archival custom framing combined with superior design that truly showcases the art it preserves.
