"Palette Gallery and Cafe is the perfect location for Charlemos" said Elizabeth Worrell Braswell, chairman of Charlemos Spanish, “because it is a fine art gallery that serves specialty coffees and teas in its café, and the owners speak Spanish.”
Palette owner Pilar Arrieta is merging the Spanish conversation group that she founded in her home with Charlemos. Her husband and co-owner of Palette, Jorge Arrieta Yances, is the featured artist in the gallery.
