Jerry Winters Gallery formerly Joan Winters Gallery & Boutique — Attraction in Arthur

We just returned from a truly memorable visit to Jerry Winters's gallery in charming Arthur, Indiana, and I couldn't wait to share the experience with everyone.

From the moment we stepped into Jerry’s gallery, We were enveloped in an atmosphere that felt both vibrant and intimate. The walls were adorned with his extraordinary artwork, each piece reflecting Jerry’s unique perspective and undeniable talent. It’s evident that every brushstroke carries a story, and we found ourselves lost in the intricate details of his work especially trying to find those lovely caniches of Jerry's hidden in those scenes of his artwork.

What made our visit even more special was the opportunity to engage with Jerry himself. His energy is infectious, and he has a charisma that draws people in. He shared heartfelt stories from his celebrated life experiences. I was particularly moved by stories of his friendship with Clint Eastwood in Carmel, California. The way he spoke of Clint’s passion for film was truly inspiring, and I could see the mutual respect they share, shaped by years of camaraderie.

One of the most fascinating stories he shared was from his time on tour with the legendary Bob Hope and all the wonderful celebrities he has worked with. Jerry's ability to capture that comedic spirit through his art while also infusing it with personal experiences—left us in awe. It's clear that humor and joy are essential components of his creative process.

As we left the gallery, We felt a renewed sense of inspiration. Jerry’s zest for life, passion for art, and deep appreciation for the connections he’s made along the way are a vibrant reminder of what it means to live fully. His style, both in art and in person, is something truly extraordinary, radiating warmth and joy that is hard to describe but easy to feel.

If you ever have the chance to visit Arthur, IN, I cannot recommend Jerry Winters's gallery highly enough. It’s not just about the art—it’s about the stories, the friendships, and the uplifting energy that fills the space. I am sure you would find it as enchanting as we did.

Looking forward to catching up soon and hearing more amazing stories!

Avec tous nos remerciements, Que Dieu vous bénisse.

I've visited this store several times and always enjoyed it. Today we drove down from Champaign to specifically buy some of the French soaps and potpourri as Christmas gifts. I asked Mr. Winters why they left France, and to my disgust, he replied that he didn't want to wear a burqua. These people are obviously intolerant of differences and I'm sure they're right at home in lily-white Arthur. I will not return to this store now that they have shown their true colors.

Edited to add:. I've been so disappointed by thus incident because I enjoy the Aromatique potpourri and Pre de Provence soaps so much. Turns out I have lost nothing, these products are on Amazon and with our Prime membership it is cheaper to...

I absolutely love the beautiful Saron charcoal pieces I found at Jerry Winters’ Art Gallery! They take me back to a sweet time in my childhood. Jerry and his staff are not only fantastic art and specialty gift curators, they are wonderful hosts. From the warm greeting at the door to the backstories of the fabulous artists, we felt as if we were their only clients. Arthur, Illinois is blessed to have such a fine, world-class art gallery in their midst! Before we left, Jerry played the piano and sang a happy melody! When you stop in, please tell him, Melissa...
