OUR VISION & MISSION
MAKE A STATEMENT
Art doesn’t just add decoration or bring color into your living room. Art is a way of living. It is invigorating to see someone both creating and dedicating their time to what gives them the most joy in life. By pursuing these passions and working against the grain, they inspire us to do the same.
At Redwood Art Group, we help people make a statement—from the artist showcasing one-of-a-kind originals that serve as portals into their life and unique experiences to the gallery that embraces their incredible vision to the collector who discovers that perfect piece and proudly displays it in their home.
We believe that art reminds us of what is possible and that, through our online art shop and art fairs, you, too, can make your life a work of art.

OUR TEAM
Our team is comprised of experts with a diverse range of experiences in the art world, from sales and marketing to IT to event production. Passionate about connecting galleries and artists with art lovers and collectors who love their work, we work tirelessly to present carefully curated collections of the best original fine art and design both in person at our critically acclaimed fairs and online at our art shop. We believe that great art makes you think, feel, and see in new and interesting ways. It’s one of the most rewarding parts about creating and collecting the art you love—and the reason most of us got into it in the first place.
