New art gallery concept developed by art collectors for collectors

J

ack McLaine, the owner of REVU Fine Art, first developed the idea for this business concept seven years ago. Jack overheard a collector telling someone that they wished to purchase a paint ing that they had found, but, they had no more room in their home, or in their budget, without selling something that they currently had. The gallery owner explained to Jack and his wife Lisa that this was a common issue with avid collectors. And, there was not a truly viable marketplace for these collectors to sell their art and receive a fair percentage of its true value. This became the seed for developing the REVU Fine Art Secondary Art Market business.

REVU Fine Art is structured with a minimalist style that is reflected in its

loft-like, bright, airy and elegant gallery setting. Contemporary sculp tures, paintings, and photography are on display by renowned artists from all over the world including works of Dale Chiluly, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Alan Houser, John Kennedy, David McGary, David Pearson, John Kuhn, Noel Hart, Richard Royal, Wyland and Leonardo Nierman.

Recently, REVU Fine Art was selected to represent artists who have participated in the prestigious Palm Desert Invitational Sculpture Exhibi tion, an international exhibition pre sented every two years by the City of Palm Desert. The sculptures have been on display on El Paseo from Nov., 2012 through October, 2014. They are now available for purchase at REVU Fine Art.

Desert Adventures – Celebrating 25 Years of Tourism Excellence! - Climb aboard the Big Red Jeeps for an unforgettable journey into the REAL desert. Desert Adventures exclusive San Andreas Fault Adventure takes you to a private 800+ acre preserve right on the San Andreas Fault where you will explore a lush natural palm oasis, tour a replica Cahuilla Village to learn about the culture and lifestyle of the Cahuilla Indians and witness extraordinary scenery as your jeep winds its way through the labyrinth of geological cuts and canyons of the San Andreas Fault Zone.

Desert Adventures also offers a fascinating jeep and hiking excursions to the magnificent Palm Springs Indian Canyons where native fan palms and more than 150 species of plants beckon travelers to the lush oases that were the ancient home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.

If you prefer to travel in air-conditioned comfort, you can also choose from one of several tours in Desert Adventures eco-friendly CNG Van. Visit the stunning Joshua Tree National Park where you will spend a full three hours inside the park as you enjoy a short guided hike through Hidden Valley, visit the Desert Queen Mine and take in the spectacular views from the Key’s View Overlook. Other tours visit the windmills, Coachella Valley Preserve, Whitewater Preserve and other points of interest in the Coachella Valley. You can also hire a professional guide to take you on a customized sightseeing or hiking excursion in your car or Desert Adventures SUV.
