Where Salvage Meets Artistry

Tucked away on North Leonardi Street, just off West King Street, the Elaine H. Darnold Gallery is housed in a beautifully restored 1920s coquina block building. 

Stepping inside, visitors are immediately drawn into the innovative work of both established and emerging artists working in ceramics and mixed media. Appreciate everything from delicate porcelain vessels that push the boundaries of traditional techniques to bold, large-scale sculptures incorporating unexpected combinations of materials like reclaimed metal, weathered wood, and vibrant glass.

The gallery is an extension of Elaine H. Darnold, Inc., a firm renowned for its historic restorations in St. Augustine, including projects like the Casa Monica Hotel and Ponce de Leon Hotel (now Flagler College's Ponce Hall). Explore a curated collection of antique heart pine timbers, vintage doors, windows, and hardware, alongside handcrafted furniture and art pieces created by Kenneth Darnold. 

Operating hours are flexible; the gallery is open by chance, and visitors are encouraged to call ahead for appointments.

On the first Friday of each month, many of St. Augustine’s galleries stay open late for the First Friday Art Walk — a monthly celebration of local art and creativity. It’s a great way to discover new artists, enjoy live music, and experience the energy of the Oldest City’s creative scene. Whether you live in St. Augustine or are just visiting, our Art Walk offers a relaxed and fun way to take in, or take home, local art.
