Our STory

Red Gate co-founders Adrienne Outlaw, Sarah Moon, and Elena Piston opened the space in the fall of 2023 as a way to foster community through the arts with the tag “art, music and irl (in real-life) human connection.”

Since founding the gallery, they’ve seen the deep need for a safe space for creative expression. “People from all walks of life gather here for the shows. Progressive religious communities like ours can take such ideas of openness for granted. We want Red Gate to promote radical acceptance and critical creative thought among everyone,” says artist and church member Outlaw.
