Merritt Gallery & Renaissance Fine Arts is shutting down after more than four decades of showcasing fine art collections.
“After more than 40 years, we are closing Merritt Gallery & Renaissance Fine Arts with full hearts and deep gratitude,” the owners announced on Instagram last week.
The business operates a location at Village of Cross Keys in Baltimore, next to the Fulton Bank branch. They also have locations in Chevy Chase, Maryland and Haverford, Pennsylvania.
“It has been an extraordinary journey, shaped by artists who trusted us with their vision, collectors who welcomed art into their homes, and a team whose care and dedication defined everything we built together,” the Instagram post reads. “While this chapter is coming to a close, it feels complete. The work is vibrant, the relationships are meaningful, and the legacy is one we are incredibly proud of.”
The gallery will hold an “End of an Era Sale,” with discounts ranging from 25% to 75% off all pieces in their catalog.
Pieces will be sold on a first come, first served basis, with no holds. All sales are final.
Additional fees apply for complimentary in-home showings and delivery/installation.
Sisters and business partners Merritt Miller and Rachel Rubin told Baltimore Fishbowl in 2018 that they “grew up” in the business that their mother started.
They explained how they value being able to work closely with artists and clients alike to help bring their vision to fruition.
“We truly believe that art can alter your world,” the sisters said. “To do this, we bring together a cultivated collection of talented artists from near and far. By supporting our artists, we allow them to do what they love: create art. For our clients, our goal is to help them build unique collections or find pieces that reflect their personality.”
