bioghist: label: Biographical / Historical
content: Gallery 1015 (est. 1958, closed 1967) was located in the Wyncote, Pennsylvania home of Gladys Myers. It mostly exhibited contemporary  artists from the Philadelphia area. 

Gladys Myers was the founder and director of Gallery 1015. Myers was inspired to start a gallery by the large, empty walls of the historic farmhouse she and her husband had purchased to be their family home. She had no formal art training or gallery experience, but took classes at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia to increase her knowledge. Myers acted as an agent for the artists her gallery represented, promoting the work of up to fifteen artists at a time to collectors and larger institutions.
