The gallery has primarily been built on the ideals of what it means to represent a specific group of artists over a very long period of time. However, we have also come to realize that infusing the gallery with one-time projects enhances the vocabulary, meaning, and impact of the gallery's agenda. Hence, in 1999 we initiated Gallery 2 as an inspiring and liberating arena to show a large range of selected one-time exhibitions. This program allows us the freedom to show, for instance, a single piece by an artist or a single body of work by an artist we would not otherwise have the opportunity to show, an exhibition of historical works, never been seen artists… Not only does this program broaden the audience's basis of visual reference but it also affords us the opportunity to work with artists that are represented by other galleries, artists that would not seemingly fit neatly into the primary focus of the gallery as well as very young artists that we might otherwise not have the opportunity to show within our primary space.
Interestingly, the inception of Gallery 2 coincided with the joyful event of our ten-year anniversary. At a time when it might be expected that we would be focusing only on the more established it makes us very happy to know that there are many directions that lead to growth.
