Gallery One-Ellleven is funded by a co-op of local artists and art enthusiasts and is the center of the art scene in Leesville and Vernon Parish. It is located
in the heart of the Historic District of Downtown Leesville, Louisiana.
Traditional and contemporary visual arts are displayed in a world class space renovated from a period dry-goods store.
Serving as Leesville’s premier art venue, the gallery plays host to constantly changing exhibits and features the work of both its members and their guests. Monthly
receptions are held for new exhibits. It is one of the buildings featured in the 2010 Leesville Tour of Homes.
Artwalk, a joint venture of the gallery, the Vernon Parish Tourism Commission, and the City of Leesville,
is held twice yearly on the third Saturday in March and the fourth Saturday of October. Any interested artist may display their work along 3rd Street in downtown
Leesville as the city celebrates the arts with music, food, and fun for all.

The Red Studio
The Red Studio is an early 1900's home that was originally
located behind the Fertitta Brother's Store on Port Arthur (now Fertitta) Boulevard.
It was moved to its current location at 109 E Arkansas St. in
2009 to be used as a studio by Tony McDonald. It has been
minimally altered to suit the artist's needs.
One interesting architectural feature of the building is the twin "half brick"
chimney flues that accommodated either kerosene or wood burning
stoves. Covered up years ago by paneling, one has now been
exposed in the front rooms of the studio space. The Red Studio is one of the buildings
featured in the 2010 Leesville Tour of Homes.
