We concluded our Fall 2022 tour season last month with a private tour at the home and studio of artist and climate activist Jenny Kendler. This was a unique opportunity for the tour group to get an intimate understanding of Jenny’s work as she walked us through her practice and gave detailed insight into the art objects in her studio. Thank you to Jenny for the phenomenal opportunity! We are looking forward to our upcoming Spring tours.

The British and Nigerian's multidisciplinary work features bright colors and loud patterns, offering a commentary on culture, society, history, textiles, and colonialism. The show is open through the end of September and is not to be missed. Instagram @renasternbergfineart

“If the city were a museum, Rena Sternberg would be its docent. Most gallerists, artists, and collectors know her by sight, because she shows up everywhere. Sternberg isn’t your typical private art consultant (i.e., expensive and unavailable): She prefers to travel with an entourage. She helps collectors find great work by teaching them about it through guided tours of the galleries and studios trending in Chicago.” www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/Aug…

Rena Sternberg is pleased to announce a trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the final art tour of a successful Spring 2015 tour season! The Milwaukee tour will consist of a visit to the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee’s Institute of Visual Art to view a mixed media group show exploring the pressing theme of environmentalism and its sociopolitical consequences. Following a tasty lunch, we will also visit the studios of Richard Galling and Katy Cowan for a behind-the-scenes look at the work of these Milwaukee-based artists.
