Alcea Gallery offers new display of art in Forest Park

Alcea Gallery opened in October at 7512 Madison St. in Forest Park, Illinois, owned by Summer Lambert, a former corporate marketer who turned to freelance marketing and decided to launch her own gallery after years of being rejected from museum and gallery jobs for lacking an art background. The gallery features contemporary paintings, collages, ceramics, and prints by local and national artists, with Lambert displaying work for free and offering a 70% commission on sales. She launched with her personal collection and has since received interest from artists in Forest Park, Oak Park, and as far as Florida, though she notes a deficit of buyers rather than artists.
