Interview with Tre Michel


Gallery Philosophy

Tre Michel's philosophy about dealing and collecting art is based on a simple mantra, "We do not sell art, it sells itself." For this reason the gallery space is inviting and engaging. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a Ringling college student, the space offers inspiration.


The art lounge includes a large selection of art books to peruse while taking in the art. Due to the expansive volume of space, the gallery collection includes many large-scale paintings, which range up to 10' square. The artists represented produce art in all imaginable mediums Including paintings, mixed media on paper, collages, metal, wood and stone sculpture, as well as some innovative mediums which are "outside of the box." Located on State Street in the center of Sarasota's historic downtown district, the gallery aims to be an anchor in the arts and culture community.
