The Ward-Nasse Gallery is both a respected landmark in Soho and a place of opportunity for artists from around the world. The gallery first opened in Boston during the early 1960s and subsequently moved to its present location in 1970 when it became artist-run.
After 33 successful years representing a legion of artists, Ward-Nasse Gallery is once again breaking the mold by opening another unique artist-run gallery amidst the landscape of more than 150 galleries in Chelsea.
The Artists' Gallery celebrated its grand opening landmark event in 2002, by exhibiting The Artists' Choice, a group exhibit with works from more than fifty artisans of local, national, and international origin, including emerging artists as well as those currently in distinguished museums and private collections.
Our Mission is to provide all artists' regardless of age, race, gender, or beliefs the opportunity to present their work without censorship. All modes of contemporary art are exhibited here, from traditionally executed works to more experimental art forms, including music, poetry and dance video, and new technology. We believe that artists' choice is today's cutting edge. Special thanks to founder Harry Nasse for all of his hard work. We would also like to thank the many, many artists that helped make this gallery what it is. The gallery was established for artists by artists.
