Dacia (da-cha) is a contemporary art gallery presenting museum quality solo and group exhibitions of its established and emerging artists in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Since 2010, Dacia has gained extensive attention amongst collectors and art connoisseurs by mounting increasingly ambitious representational, landscape and abstract exhibitions, which have included notable artists: Janet A. Cook, Stephen Early, Max Ginsburg, Kristy Gordon, Maria Kreyn, Travis Little, Daniel Maidman, Christopher Pugliese, Nelson Shanks and Patricia Watwood. Dacia’s success is a result of a fresh and unconventional apparoach as to what a gallery should encompass, and by partnering with artists to build a strong community of like-minded individuals willing to support and promote each other's achievements. In addition, exhibiting artists are always present at our opening receptions where we invite them to give an artist talk and to meet and greet the admiring public. As The Epoch Times notes, Dacia Gallery is 'A Gallery Where Artists Are The First Priority'.

STUDIO D'ARTE GR Established almost 40 years ago in the late 1970s, Studio d’Arte GR quickly focused its activity on the promotion and valorization of postwar avante-garde artwork of clear Latin matrix, favoring those artists who had created a special, personal propulsion and thrust during the triumph and eclipse of “Informale”. In the 1980s, Studio d’Arte GR became intent upon relaunching certain aspects of Abstractionism of the 1950s and 1960s which in Europe and especially Italy had been compared to American Abstract Expressionism, interesting itself in the works of artists such as Afro, Alberto Burri, Giuseppe Santomaso and Emilio Vedova. Studio d’Arte GR then promoted and underscored the season of Spatialism – the real conclusion of the trajectory of “Informale” – with the diffusion of masters of relevance like Edmondo Bacci, Marco De Luigi, Lucio Fontana, Riccardo Licata and Tancredi. In the 1990s, Studio d’Arte began dedicating great energy and insight to the rediscovery and relaunching of the last true avante-garde movements of Kinetic, Programmed, and Optical art, establishing direct, often exclusive relationships and dealings with artists such as Getulio Alviani, Alberto Biasi, Gianni Colombo, Carlos Cruz Diez, Julio Le Parc, Francois Morrelet, Horacio Garcia Rossi, Francisco Sobrino and Victor Vasarely. Often carried forward in profound solitude, at most with a small number of faithful friends, this project was ahead of its time in advancing artists who had been almost completely forgotten but whose work has since been enthusiastically recognized by both critics and the market in the new millenium. All this was possible thanks to the ongoing collaboration of Professor Giovanni Granzotto, a founding partner of the Studio and more importantly, one of the most expert and passionate supporters of postwar Latin art. Today, Studio d’Arte GR alternates its activity with the discovery and promotion of young talent that challenges itself with the most varied of media, maintaining a dynamic attitude towards chromatic vibration and luministic inquiry. In addition to its business activity, Studio d’Arte GR has always engaged in dynamic, purely cultural endeavors at regular intervals, organizing exhibitions and artistic reviews in prestigious museums such as GNAM in Rome, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, MMOMA in Moscow, MACBA and Museo di Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, and Palazzo Ducale in Venice. The staff of Studio d’Arte GR pride themselves on having organized and curated almost 300 public exhibitions. With this premise, New York GR Gallery has recently been born, a structure completely centered on the culture and market of the United States. Formed by a mix of both young and expert personalities, New York GR Gallery is dedicated to distinguishing those movements and artists that the art world has finally acknowledged and now celebrates, but is also committed to promoting innovative talent and worth. Studio d’Arte GR has already demonstrated special expertise and intuitive flair for this in the last few decades, thus allowing us to foresee a great future in the world of contemporary art.

The Lodge Gallery, founded by Keith Schweitzer and Jason Patrick Voegele, is located at 131 Chrystie Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. It serves as both an art space and a gathering place for hearty discourse and experimentation.
Hionas Gallery is located in the center of the Lower East Side Art District at 124 Forsyth Street, between Broome and Delancey.
In the midst of dozens of art galleries in the Lower East Side in Manhattan, Red Royalty Gallery, situated at Delancey and Allen Street, is something very different. It is a salon-type contemporary art gallery, rooted back in the Art nouveau's eclectic philosophy and the tradition of totality and theatricality: wooden floors, decorated storefront windows, and high chandeliered ceilings. We are pushing for the timely transcension of the widely accepted white cube model for galleries, as we believe that this format has already played its role in the history of art, and is slowly becoming dysfunctional. We represent Princeton-based sculptor and painter Kremena Lefterova whose imaginative colorful porcelain and ceramic sculptures are influenced by the beauty and complexity of Cirque du Soleil's performances and the fantasy world of Hieronymus Bosch's dream-like illustrations. Kremena's paintings and illustrations bridge the gap between the academic essence of the Russian Classical School and the magical qualities of Scandinavian fairytales. Animated yet static, figurative yet allegorical, and classical yet contemporary, Kremena’s multifarious works are unlike anything else currently on the art market. Kremena also works with clients to create in situ sculptures, installations, or fine design solutions for their office, apartment, or house.
