    The name “Rela” comes from the idea that art is relative - we don’t all gravitate to the same styles and everyone can benefit from the experience to explore variety. Bringing art into our everyday spaces expands art engagement so anyone can become an art advocate.

  • Rela is a platform where local artists list their work, making local art more accessible.

    All art is available for purchase or to display in area commercial and residential spaces through subscriptions which make art part of everyday life in our everyday spaces.

    Artists earn each month their work is on view, building a new model of artist support and art engagement.
