Medart Moving! 

 

After 20 years in the Dunkirk Market Place, Medart Galleries has officially moved to the new Dunkirk Gateway Business Center located on Town Center Boulevard behind the Dunkirk Giant. Established in 1968, Medart Galleries has been a member of the Calvert County business community since 1985, and a Music & Arts Affiliate since 1993. Although the move is physically just a short distance from its old location, logistically the new location offers double the square footage which will allow for expanded customer services on site, to include custom framing and musical instrument rentals and sales.
Medart Galleries is a local, family-owned and operated business that offers an extensive selection of artwork as well as quality custom picture framing. Founded in 1968 by William and Annamaria Radosevic, daughter Teresa Schrodel is the current gallery director and framing designer. Her brother, Frank Radosevic, produces all of the custom framing. The gallery is always a pleasure to visit. Visitors are warmly welcomed and invited to look at original oil paintings, Chesapeake Bay related art, military and aviation art, offerings by local as well as nationally recognized artists, limited edition prints and much, much more. Customers may bring in items they wish to have custom framed. Customer service and satisfaction is Medart Galleries' primary goal.
The Medart Galleries Grand Opening celebration is scheduled from 10 to 4:30 on Saturday, September 15th. All art lovers are welcome.
