Black & White Gallery's mission is to cultivate promising artists in the initial and more advanced phases of their careers exploring contemporary themes and concepts through multiple mediums.

Black & White Gallery premiered on September 20, 2002 at 483 Driggs Avenue in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY. On June 21, 2006 Black & White Gallery opened its second location in Chelsea on the ground floor of the Chelsea Terminal Warehouse at 636 West 28th Street.

In addition to developing its core program in Chelsea, BWG continues to present ambitious site-specific work at its original Williamsburg location, in both the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Black & White Gallery // Chelsea artists have exhibited widely at art centers and museums. They are the recipients of prestigious awards, grants and fellowships, such as the Jonh Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (Randy Wray, Jackie Saccoccio and Liset Castillo), the Fullbright Scholarship (Jane Benson), the Rome Prize, American Academy in Rome (Jackie Saccoccio), the Socrates Sculpture Park Fellowship (Michael Krondl). Their work has been reviewed in national and international newspapers, magazines, and catalogues and is in major public and private collections, such as The Margulies Collection, Progressive Art Collection, George Soros Foundation, Ellen and Jerome Stern Collection and The West Collection.
