Our Story
For many years, Benicia Artist and Real Estate Broker, Renee Marie Jordan, had been hosting local artists in her Jordan Real Estate Office on First Street. She wanted to create something different, an environment where all Artists would be welcomed to showcase their creations. In 2015, with the help and direction of fellow Benicia Artist, Stephanie Gray, they transitioned into a Co-Op Gallery featuring 18 Bay Area Artists. This was the start of Gallerie Renee Marie. They were able to showcase Artists of all different mediums, water color, abstract, jewelry making, sculptures, lighting fixtures and so much more.
In 2019 after 4 successful years as a Co-Op Gallery, Jordan and Gray decided once again to bring something new to the Benicia Art Scene. In January we evolved into a Contemporary Art Gallery focusing on one Artist or one single theme. Benicia, California, National and International artists have the opportunity to show in our venue. This would allow for outside artists to showcase their creations and bring something out of the ordinary to the Benicia Art Scene. The gallery’s goal is to draw interest from art enthusiasts throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Our hope is for them discover our wonderful city, our vibrant arts community and our local artists showing side by side with emerging and established national and international cultural workers..
Toward that end Gallerie Renee Marie has established a relationship with artist/curator/writer Carl Heyward to assume the role of Curator - Gallery Director mining his deep roots in and knowledge of established and emerging artists both nationally and internationally as founder of GLOBAL ART PROJECT, a mixed media collaborative collective of more than 60 members operating in 16 countries. With these resources and a commitment to the exposure of forward thinking contemporary artists in an inclusive environment, Gallerie Renee Marie invites you Explore and Experience The New Face of Arts Presentation in Benicia.
