Gallery U Boutique is the combination of a fully functional art gallery along with a shopping boutique. We exist as an extension of Universal Institute, Inc., and are a vocational rehabilitation site providing work opportunities for adult clients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Clients of Universal Institute who work at Gallery U Boutique take part in running all aspects of the business. This creative work program serves to transition clients back into the workforce and local community while also providing a safe and beautiful space for learning new skills and experiencing the transformative power of art. Gallery U Boutique carries a beautiful blend of unique, hand selected items from designer collections as well as curated art and items by local artists and artisans. We also sell collaborative artwork created by clients with TBI as part of Universal Institute’s therapeutic programs. Gallery U Boutique holds monthly group art exhibits that highlight the talents of local artists, both established and emerging as well as music performances, monthly poetry readings, and other free events open to the public.
