STEVEN VAIL FINE ARTS - PROJECT ROOM

Specializing in American and European Modern and Contemporary works on paper and original prints 
by artists of international reputation since 1996


Welcome to our website - please stay seated

 

WE'RE MOVING

The architecture firms spiller. and IDEAA converted a dim, dark raw space on the ground level of Des Moines Fitch Building into a beautiful, light-filled gallery. Located a block from the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Garden and sheltered from the city’s chaotic streets, Steven Vail Fine Arts – Project Room is comprised of a main exhibition salon, an art research library and an auxiliary exhibition space which will feature works from our collection. Executed by Christensen Development, the finished gallery is a beautiful, modern space that offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
