ÆRENA Galleries & Gardens

What ÆRENA Galleries & Gardens does

ÆRENA Galleries & Gardens is a privately held, Northern California-based art gallery and sculpture garden business founded in 2016, operating four physical gallery locations in Mill Valley, St. Helena, Healdsburg, and Napa. The company curates and sells contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography, mid-century modern furnishings, and design objects from a roster of more than 100 emerging and internationally recognized artists, including blue-chip names such as Koons, Warhol, Hirst, Murakami, Haring, and Indiana. Its core product is the in-person gallery experience, complemented by an e-commerce storefront at aerenagalleries.com and an integrated gallery management and exhibition scheduling platform that supports both physical and online sales.

Beyond the four galleries, the business extends its physical footprint through six exclusive sculpture garden partnerships with luxury hospitality and vineyard properties: Auberge du Soleil, MacArthur Place, Solage, Harvest Inn, the St. Regis San Francisco, and Blackbird Vineyards. These partnerships host outdoor sculpture installations and artist events, providing both a distribution channel for high-value works and a brand-building venue within the Wine Country luxury travel circuit. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of original art, limited editions, and design objects, supplemented by transaction-fee revenue from sculpture placements and a Trade Professional Program that serves interior designers and architects.

The customer base is split between high-net-worth individual collectors acquiring works for private residences and a defined set of enterprise hospitality partners programming rotating art collections. The go-to-market motion is hybrid: dedicated art consultants provide personalized sales via phone and email (707.603.8787), while the e-commerce site enables self-service browsing and direct purchase across paintings, sculpture, photography, and design categories. Marketing is conducted through Instagram, email newsletters, monthly rotating exhibitions, in-person artist events, and cross-promotion with hospitality partners.
