Lisa Rainey, purveyor and curator of Rainey Fine Art Gallery has announced that the gallery will be moving from it’s current location in downtown Balboa’s historic “Bubbles” building at the end of the month.

“We want to thank our loyal clientele for their continuing support for our various gallery shows and events.” shared Rainey, adding that she has found such joy in being part of this wonderful community. "We have met so many memorable people who have shared a common desire to see the art culture expand to new heights in the Balboa and Newport Beach area. Although we have loved our gallery in Balboa, the prospective sale of the building prevents us from continuing in this venue that we have so enjoyed", said Rainey.

Rainey has developed a hub for locals interested in the arts. She has hosted a variety of artistic exhibits and gallery events including lectures, poetry readings and weekly paint nights. Beyond Rainey’s mainstay of Plein Air artists, the gallery’s exhibits have ranged from abstract , figurative and photography with the most recent event featuring a juried still life competition. Rainey’s studio events have also expanded into mid-week and evening classes and workshops for both seasoned and beginning painters as well as children's classes and creative writing workshops.

Rainey says that she has accomplished her dream of providing a venue in order to connect artists and to bring a community of art lovers together. She also says that she is hopeful to continue what she has started in the Balboa/Newport Beach area and will be posting the new location information on the website once it has been determined.

A new location has not been secured but check back here for updates.

Welcomes art lovers, artists and non-artists.  We represent community and provide a place that hosts events encompassing all of the arts.  Our purpose is to offer connections and communication in Christian values, art, artists, and the creative process. 

We are a working gallery and believe the process should be shared as well as the finished piece of art. 

We hope to encourage all, bring vision, and promote culture, while focusing on education and change.
