The Red Gate

Red Gate co-founders Adrienne Outlaw, Sarah Moon, and Elena Piston opened the space in the fall of 2023 as a way to foster community through the arts with the tag “art, music and irl (in real-life) human connection.” One year and five exhibits later, they’ve seen the deep need for a safe space for creative expression. “People from all walks of life gather here for the shows. Progressive religious communities like ours can take such ideas of openness for granted. We want Red Gate to promote radical acceptance and critical creative thought among everyone,” says artist and church member Outlaw.

Open Window, a large-scale exhibit of visual art, performance, and conversation, will close Sunday December 1 with a reception from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM. This is the final opportunity to view the art. In conjunction with the closing reception, we're also hosting a holiday pop-up vendor market, where you can support some of our Red Gate artists and other vendors. All are welcome!

Testimonial from The Red Gate co-founder, Adrienne Outlaw:

One of the things I love about curating exhibitions is the beauty, connections and knowledge artists bring to light. Take this example by Rebecca Willhoft, one of the outstanding artists in our show, "ID Please." Her 2023 watercolor and pastel work, "Indo-European Language Tree," is so intriguing that we started a book club. We read "The Sandcastle Girls," a historical fiction that poignantly tells the story of the Armenian genocide. At the book club meeting, Rebecca introduced us to the musical trio Zulal, which then led to the discovery of the Armenian Navy band.
