Where community and art come together in Orlando
Meredith Sand Designs Studio & Gallery is more than a place to view art, it’s a place to experience it. Part gallery, part working studio, part event space, we exist to make creativity visible, approachable, and alive in everyday life.
Here, art isn’t reserved for special occasions or white walls. It lives in conversation, in process, in the way people move through the space and connect with what they see.
Our gallery rotates resident artists throughout the year, each bringing a distinct perspective and energy into the space. Between exhibitions, you’ll still find a curated selection of original artwork, prints, and thoughtfully designed goods, including Meredith’s signature hand-stamped textiles and gifts.
