Read Bio

Chris Meyer, Founder

Chris comes from three generations of theater performers. He is a graduate of Improv Olympic and the PIT and was “all but dissertation” at Second City and then later at Upright Citizens Brigade when life interrupted each graduation.

As an actor, he performed at The Public Theater, La MaMa, Princeton Rep, Shakespeare on the Sound, Primary Stages, and the Chekov Theater Ensemble. If you remember him from Guiding Light...why would you? As a stand-up comic, he was a regular at the Comic Strip, Standup NY, and the Original NY Improv. He also directed plays, had screenplays optioned, and lived out of his car for extended periods of time.

He has spent significant parts of his life as a nightclub bouncer, firefighter, corporate security trainer, and prison chaplain. His time in the military was spent as a highly trained combat typist, which somehow ended up with him receiving a Bronze Star in Afghanistan.

Jeannie Freilich, Gallery Director

After forty three years learning, growing, and refining my craft as a trusted lieutenant in the traditional contemporary art world, working for some of the most respected galleries in the field, I have chosen a new path. I am now part of an exciting and rewarding sector of the art world that is only beginning to receive the recognition it deserves, thanks in large part to the mission of the Savage Wonder Art Center. Without the visual, performative, and literary contributions of our veteran artists, an essential part of our cultural fabric would be missing. I am honored to serve as the Gallery Director.
