Brooklyn Galleries: 4 Great Park Slope Art Galleries
written by Warren Lewis Team
Art galleries are a long-standing New York art tradition, and have found a new home in Brooklyn over the last decade or so. Nothing reflects the art and culture of the City quite like an art gallery does, giving a home to artists' works from the New York area and beyond. Gallery hopping in Brooklyn is a great way to spend an afternoon. Buying a piece of art is an multi-faceted investment, and allows the buyer to enjoy the art themselves, help fund the artist's future endeavors, and serve as a visual remembrance of Brooklyn and the gallery. New York galleries help keep art alive. There are many evocative Brooklyn galleries, and the Park Slope neighborhood offers a wonderful cross section. When you’re in the area, check out these four great Park Slope galleries.
Two Moon Art House & Cafe: This combination art gallery, coffee house and performance space offers a unique look at beautiful local art and tasty organic, fair trade treats, and is located on Fourth Avenue near Second Street.
440 Gallery: A gallery run by a collective of artists, the 440 Gallery showcases a wide variety of art styles and mediums. The gallery is located on Sixth Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets.
Prints Charming: Prints Charming is a framing and print shop that houses an extensive collection of vintage and antique prints dealing specifically with Brooklyn and NYC imagery. Once located on Seventh Avenue, they’ve now taken up home on Fourth Street just off Fifth Avenue.
Park Slope Gallery: Nearly 30 years old, the Park Slope Gallery is a by-appointment-only gallery. Specializing in American mid-century design and the WPA Federal Art Project, the Park Slope Gallery contains an impressive collection of historic Brooklyn and New York material. Check their website for phone number and contact information.
Art and the gallery are a staple of the Brooklyn landscape and a tradition of many New York neighborhoods. Park Slope galleries offer a stunning look into the New York art scene, and each has its own unique way to showcase their pieces. Any patron or mere enthusiast of the arts would enjoy a stop by any of these spots.
