Owner/Director Sarah Finlay founded RecRoom in June 2025. Sarah has over 20 years experience working in the visual arts as a gallerist, curator, lecturer, and writer. From 2000-2006, she directed and co-owned (with husband Patrick Murcia) Fusebox, a ground-breaking and critically acclaimed contemporary exhibition space in Washington, DC, dedicated to presenting a rigorous program of intelligent and innovative work. The 1,700 sf gallery promoted and nurtured emerging and mid-career artists from Washington and around the world.

Fusebox launched over 60 exhibitions in a broad range of media, producing exhibition brochures (with essays by a variety of notable critics, curators, and academics), in addition to artist books and digital recordings.  Exhibitions were the subject of articles and critical reviews in local and international journals, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Washington City Paper, The Los Angeles Times, Art Forum, Art in America, Art News, Art Papers, Sculpture, and Tema Celeste. 

Fusebox was the first and still only Washington, DC, gallery ever to participate in Art Basel Miami Beach and ARCO in Madrid.

From 2006 to 2017, Sarah lived in the San Francisco Bay Area raising her two young children. There she provided professional art consulting services to private individuals with a strong emphasis on educating contemporary collectors and fostering future patrons of the arts. She also did pro-bono consulting for Art Practical, a nonprofit arts magazine, and was a contributing writer for two other online arts and culture publications.

In 2017, Sarah moved with her family to Eugene, Oregon. There she served on the board of Ditch Projects and on the Leadership Council of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at University of Oregon.
