COMPANY PROFILE
I. HISTORY
A gallery of art never stands on its own. Its beginnings are often connected to its owner and his background. The motives and thrusts by which it was created and incorporated are many a time hinged on the philosophy that guides it.
Having said that, here is a short background on the owners, Noli and Agnes Romero, a husband and wife team that managed and operated Renaissance since its opening in 2003. Notwithstanding the nine short years that is has been operating in SM Megamall, one of the best established venues for art in the country, the Romeros are not at all novices in their craft. Noli is an artist by calling and a collector and investment man by career. Agnes is a pottery enthusiast and a former jeweler of 17 years. They have been investors in stocks, commodities, gold, diamonds and art at some point in their early careers. They have collected art for more than 24 years and have been co-incorporators of 3 other galleries since the 1990âs â namely: Ad Infinitum Gallery, Studio 241 and Gallery 101. After divesting from these past galleries, the invitation to establish Renaissance in 2003 came from SM Megamall and it was not at all a hard decision to make.
II. PHILOSOPHY (Motives, Thrusts and Policies)
The Philosophy that motivates and moves the gallery forward is basically to help artists by providing a venue for their artworks so that the viewing public may see art in the best light. Thereby, the gallery, the artist, the viewers and collectors will have a venue for art appreciation and art exchange.

Aside from the monthly shows at our own gallery walls and floor, some of the major shows the gallery has mounted are solo shows and group shows in the Art Center of Megamall. Major artistic shows for the past 9 years have also graced the walls of the big Art Center of SM Megamall.
We have also partnered with various groups that support worthy causes. One such successful example was a benefit show, held in cooperation with Leviâs, which aimed to raise funds for the plight of young and abused children of the Bantay Bata 163 Foundation.
The gallery has also mounted shows abroad, mainly in New York City for 2 consecutive years. Our gallery has been the springboard for shows brought to Europe and other Asian countries as well.
