The art gallery is established and operated by renowned artist, Tai Taeoalii, and his wife Adrienne. The Ol’ Blue Gallery and Guesthouse was resurrected from a historic 1854 pre-Civil War home, left for dead in “America’s Hometown” of Hannibal, Missouri. It was refurbished with the intent of exposing southern/midwestern small-town folk to modern artworks not otherwise available, via the surreal works of Tai and the visions of emerging and established guest artists from around the world.
