R yan Garrett is bringing art to Rancho Santa Fe and to venues around San Diego County. She recently founded RCG Art Advisory in the village, an intimate space with small rotating exhibits, and is planning more pop-up art shows in the Ranch and in La Jolla. An event last spring on Paseo Delicias, for example, featured works by top artists, as well as wine and charcuterie. Garrett says the art world is changing and that her company offers a "dynamic alternative to the traditional gallery model." Rather than relying on fixed gallery spaces, RCG curates large, museum- quality exhibitions in high-end homes, luxury hotels, and cultural venues. Garrett and her colleague Laura Martin, both with extensive backgrounds in the art industry, offer access to an exclusive network of artwork around the globe including visits to studios, galleries, and art fairs, as well as advisory services and appraisals. eir goal is "to educate and empower clients to make the right acquisitions at the right time with artwork that is visually and historically significant," says Garrett. On September 27, RCG Art Advisory presents e Presence in Paint, a curated exhibition of emerging artists at a private home in the La Jolla Shores neighborhood. It will culminate with an event in partnership with the nonprofit Park Horse Project, which provides equine-assisted therapy for those with Parkinson's disease, autism spectrum disorders, and other health challenges. A portion of art sales will benefit the project.
