Information for Prospective Members – 2008-2009 On October 31, 1969, a group of independent artists joined to form the Bowery Gallery. The gallery has been in continuous operation ever since, and is one of the oldest in New York City. The gallery is incorporated as a non-profit organization of representational and non-representational artists. Exhibitions at the Bowery Gallery have received notice in The New York Times, Arts, Art in America, Modern Painters, ARTnews, Artcritical.com, Vogue, The New Criterion, The New York Sun, The Observer and The New Republic. A national competition, sponsored by the gallery in August, has been juried by such notable artists as Nell Blaine, Louis Finkelstein, Lois Dodd, Rosemary Beck, Natalie Charkow, Jane Freilicher, Gabriel Laderman, Joan Snyder, Janet Fish, Wilbur Niewald, William Bailey, Bill Jensen, and John Walker, and renowned art critic Jed Perl in 2008. The juror for 2009 is Paul Resika. The Bowery Gallery is a co-operative gallery, wholly
run by its artist members. Our mission is to exhibit work of the highest
quality from independent artists. In the 2009 season, dues for a full
member are $140 per month for 12 months with an initial membership fee
of $500. Everyone participates fully in the business of running the gallery;
each member has at least one job, must gallery sit (paid sitters are
available) and attend meetings. All members have solo exhibitions every
2-1/2 to 3 years and participate in occasional group shows. While members
are responsible for the printing and mailing of announcements as well
as refreshments for receptions, there are no commissions on sales. BOWERY GALLERY 530 W. 25th St., 4 fl., NEW YORK, NY
