Tranquil Art

A spa or an art gallery?

In support of our local arts community, the Recharge Medical and Day Spa Tranquil Art program provides an intimate exhibition space for local artists that have created art to nourish the soul. This unique collaboration provides artists with an innovative forum to show art focused on well-being.

The details

• Shows run for 2 months.
• A reception for each show is held following the installation, and we work with you to determine an appropriate day and time.
• Additional receptions and open houses can be negotiated.
• Guests are welcome to visit the spa during normal business hours in very small groups (1 to 4 people) to view the art.
• Guest during normal business hours are asked to respect the spa policies maintaining a peaceful spa environment—no cell phones, talking quietly or not at all, etc.)
• Shows must comprise least 7 and no more than 17 pieces (dependent on size).
• Space for sculptural art is also available, and we encourage mixed-media showings.
