Equity Gallery

Established in 1947 by the non-profit New York Artists Equity Association, this space highlights member artists, students, and smaller-scale creators. Visitors describe the room itself in contrasting terms, finding it either small and clean or deceptively large. The gallery is known as a welcoming, queer-friendly space where artists are occasionally on hand to explain the inspiration behind their pieces. For those looking to start or expand an art collection, the diverse curation is backed by educational programming and direct opportunities for patron partnerships.
