About Sojourner Gallery
Situated in the heart of Greenwich Village, Sojourner Gallery is a contemporary art gallery committed to cultivating a vibrant, forward-looking art scene in New York City and beyond. We specialize in presenting artists from late-emerging to mid-career stages—those who bring a distinctive vision and a deep understanding of their mediums.
At Sojourner, we believe in the power of exhibitions to not only reflect but shape cultural discourse. By fostering cross-cultural dialogue and engaging with a wide range of perspectives, we aim to amplify the voices of artists who challenge convention, explore material potential, and reimagine the future of art. Our Greenwich Village space serves as a springboard for artists to expand their reach, deepen their practices, and connect with wider audiences.
Vision & Practice
Sojourner Gallery operates with a curatorial vision grounded in close collaboration, critical engagement, and aesthetic clarity. We seek out artists whose work reveals strong material sensibility, conceptual depth, and a desire to push boundaries—whether formally, culturally, or contextually.
While rooted in New York’s dynamic art ecosystem, we maintain an outward-looking focus. We support our artists in expanding their influence and presence across broader markets, with a commitment to strategic visibility through curated exhibitions, special projects, and art fair participation.
Our gallery acts as a conduit—connecting artists with collectors, curators, institutions, and new publics—creating opportunities for both artistic development and market growth.
Our History
Sojourner Gallery began in 2017 with its original space in Greenwich Village, where it quickly became a platform for emerging and mid-career artists in New York City. In 2023, we expanded with a second location in Hudson Yards, offering an additional venue for exhibitions and special events. While the Hudson Yards space has since closed, it played an important role in broadening our reach and deepening our curatorial scope.
From the beginning, we have accompanied artists at pivotal points in their careers, many of whom have gone on to gain broader recognition. We believe in growing together—recognizing the essential roles that artists, curators, and galleries play in shaping the contemporary art ecosystem.
Today, we continue our work from our Greenwich Village location while actively exploring new opportunities beyond New York, bringing the spirit of Sojourner Gallery to wider audiences and new markets.
