Business update: Repurposed gallery opens at Dixon Main Street Incubator

DIXON — The Renew Me Gallery opened Friday in the Dixon Main Street Incubator at 115 S. Hennepin Ave. The gallery sells, among other items, repurposed items, artwork, and landscape décor.

The gallery also will feature themed exhibits from local artists.

“It’s an extension of things we have been doing throughout our life regarding the arts, plants, and re-purposing items. It’s also about promoting kindness, compassion, and inclusion,” owner Rick Moser said. “You’ll find fun and unique things that you won’t find anywhere else in the area. There’s also art composed of vintage and other reclaimed materials.”

Joyce and Rick Moser moved to Dixon just over a year ago to explore business opportunities.

After speaking with the Dixon Chamber of Commerce, they learned about the Dixon Main Street Incubator program. It helps new businesses looking to develop into the downtown by providing discounted rent and developmental and promotional support, which helps them build a customer base while keeping operating costs low.

The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday.
