The Arts Exclusive Gallery has been operating since July 1974 for the "promotion of creative development." Owned and founded by Philip M. Janes, the gallery serves as Simsbury's connection to a wide range of art styles, mediums and approaches from all over the United States. These artists are all known personally and professionally by Janes. The art is represented by more than 700 original works in the gallery at all times. The gallery also has various philanthropic partnerships as well as performance scholarships.
