THE VIBE OF OUR TRIBE
Why fine art and fine jewelry? It is simple for us. Our two Sedona art galleries give us an opportunity to bring beautiful people together in beautiful settings with beautiful things. Fun, happiness, and a healthy sense of belonging is what we want every guest to feel. Whether they come in to buy art or jewelry, attend one of our events, want to browse and look at pieces, or just want to have someone smile and be kind to them. Each guest should feel safe and welcomed and know they won’t be pressured, manipulated, or sold to, but will have a chance to be supported in the buying process or just enjoy being with us if that is what they desire.

Brett Labit, the President of Creative Gateways is well known for creating collaborative communities that he calls thriving tribes. He and his business partner, Valeria Gavrilova, believe they have a responsibility to do business accurately and honorably in ways that serve all involved, not just profits.
Brett says, “The galleries strive to be more than a retailer of fine art and fine jewelry. We want to be an important asset to you and the community. This requires that we take time to listen and learn about our guests when they are open to talk and to add value to them when and if we are able whether or not they buy. At a very minimum every guest should be greeted warmly and unexpectedly and receive kindness from each of us."
As it pretains to the art itself, Brett describes pieces this way: "Art is more than an object or piece. It is the sum of the creativity of the artist being invested into that moment in time. Whoever and whatever they are, along with the experiences they have had, physically unfolds into the creation in one moment, which is the moment you witness the outcome. I believe that our interaction with people is the same. We are all living life as a work of art and who we are determines the beauty we create.” ~Brett Labit
