AERENA Galleries & Gardens

A must visit when in town. This is my second time in Healdsburg and on both visits I was impressed with the Aerena Gallery selection of artists and the way the shows are curated.

This is a delightful gallery to visit. One of my favorites in California. The tall ceilings, and engrossing artworks of wide variety make for an immersive experience. Their art consultants are very helpful and friendly, with Camille Luczynski being especially insightful with regard to the inventory.

I was walking by and a beautiful piece by Shogren caught my eye. Upon entering, I was greated by Robin who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. The gallery has wonderful pieces from many artists. Highly recommend stopping in and ask for Robin!

Gorgeous use of space 💕

We visited this gallery on a personal walking tour of art galleries in Healdsburg on a recent Saturday morning. The gallery is very large with wide variety of paintings and pottery so I am sure most people will enjoy their visit. I did inquire about the "Gardens" part of the gallery's name and learned there was not one at this location.

After drinks and dinner at Ralph's Martini House, we needed to walk off our dinner. We walked on Plaza St heading toward Center St and came upon this gallery. The door was open and the gallery was all lit up, inviting everyone to come in and look at the different artwork inside. As soon as we walked, we were greeted and welcomed by one of the gallery staff, who also offered us a chilled glass of Rosé. I declined, as I had just had a strong martini, but the hubby graciously accepted. She was really friendly and encouraged us to browse. I asked about the "garden" part of their name, and she said that they curate the sculpture gardens of several well known properties in the Napa Valley, such as Blackbird Vineyards, Auberge du Soleil and Solage. It was also interesting to find out that Ma(i)sonry is also one of their galleries. We have been to Ma(i)sonry in Yountville a couple of times and have had a great time tasting wines and enjoying the art work indoors and outdoors. If you're in Healdsburg and want to see some contemporary art, check out Aerena. The staff here is friendly and enjoy the art work on display!

What a gem of a gallery. Loved their pieces. Bought a beautiful smaller piece by Kate Salenfriend. I really love her work, a bit a la Klimt. Melissa Radovan helped us today. Very informative, relaxing, no pressure at all, which is as it should be. Either a piece speaks to you or it does not. I'm sure I'll keep my eye on this gallery.

Beautiful gallery, great selection, friendly art consultant (Angela). They showcase a range of contemporary artist and the flow of the gallery is on point. The current Pop Artist showing is a great way to draw people into the space and take the pressure off of what many people attach to a formal gallery space. Not to say that Aerena isn't formal, just that they are exhibiting their ability to appeal to a wider range of prospective clientele. It's a lovely space to wander in after breakfast or post cocktail. Whatever the time of day it's worth checking out.
