Since the summer of 2010 The Re Institute has worked to be a space that gives artists the room that they need to grow in their knowledge of their own work. The gallery is located in a 1960 dairy barn. This unique architectural space is a major contributor to this process of understanding and growth. The architecture holds the artwork in a reverential way. This is a bit unforeseen in that the space is rough and still retains aspects of a dairy barn.
The second major aspiration of the gallery is to provide a community for art appreciation. A fellowship is created between the public and the artists that show their work here. This has been accomplished by a commitment to sharing a meal together after each opening. It is also seen in the simplicity of the space compared to a standard white-walled gallery or museum. There are few barriers of academic pretense to keep the general public out. The first priority of curation has been to allow artists the freedom to show the work they are most interested in exhibiting, free from marketability considerations.
