We’ve scooped, sliced, shopped—now we sculpt. Scott Miller Projects is an art gallery joining the gelato, pizza and retail shops as the latest addition to the Mercantile on Morris development.

According to his website, Scott Miller plans to open the gallery on June 11, 2021. Scott Miller Projects will represent local, national and international artists.

“I’ve led collectors and students on art-related travel to Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Miami, Chicago, New York etc. and I have been helping place major works in private and institutional collections throughout the U.S., Europe and Canada.
My new journey begins with my own gallery. It has been a dream of mine for a very long time. You could say it has been 30 years in the making.”
Scott Miller, Owner and Operator, Scott Miller Projects

Not only will it contribute to the new development, but it also adds to Birmingham’s booming art scene, which boasts galleries like VINEGAR and Canary Gallery.
