Pilisa Rainbow Lady Obtains Kuivato, A Creative Gateways Gallery

Collaboration of artists to orchestrate art collectively is what inspired fused-glass artist and Creative Gateways Open Studios and Gallery, owner Pilsa Rainbow Lady to open her first gallery in Sedona, AZ. Within the Creative Gateways space, not only will you see artist’s finished pieces in a stunning gallery space, but you will also discover a place of creativity. Artists at CG work within their own individual studios at the gallery, as well as one larger shared space for collectively creating.

Within the collective space of Creative Gateways Open Studios and Gallery you will find every known artist’s tool, material, kilns of various sizes for both glass and ceramic, large industrial sized work tables, saws, and drawers of amazing art supplies. If you are an art supply junkie, you are going to love how playful Creative Gateways is for its artists and classes.

The feeling of community is felt, the minute you walk through the door of Creative Gateways,. Integration, collaboration and inspiration appear to be the three models of this gallery’s design.

Just this year, Pilsa Rainbow Lady decided to expand her vision with the purchase of the Kuivato Glass Gallery, now re-branded as: Kuivato, A Creative Gateways Gallery. The new gallery is located within Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village and is as equally as bright a space as Creative Gateways.

As a glass artist, the fit of Kuivato, A Creative Gateways Gallery couldn’t be more perfect. Kuivato is a renowned glass gallery, perfectly positioned right in front of Tlaquepaque’s beautiful main corridor fountain. Kuivato has since expanded and now also holds the work of painters and ceramicists, jewelers, and other types of artists.

Kuivato, A Creative Gateways Gallery, has also recently experienced a visual facelift. Gallery manager, Angela Palmer temporarily closed the gallery for two weeks in July to completely renovate the space. The Grand Opening of the new space took place on the Sedona Gallery Associations’ 1st Friday in the Galleries event, August 3, with champagne and locally-made macaroons for all to enjoy.
