Ceres Gallery is a feminist, not-for-profit alternative space in New York City dedicated to promoting contemporary women in the arts. Founded to expand opportunities for women artists, Ceres provides an inclusive exhibition space that raises public awareness and challenges the limited access women often face in commercial galleries.
Beyond visual art, Ceres welcomes writers, musicians, dancers, poets, and storytellers to share their work and take creative risks that might not be possible elsewhere. The gallery’s members believe deeply that art is a vital social service — one that can educate, inspire, and enrich the quality and depth of people’s lives.
Ceres showcases women artists of all ages, backgrounds, and artistic styles, prioritizing professional excellence over commercial appeal. Its progressive programming fosters both community engagement and artistic exploration, making it a hub for dialogue, education, and collaboration.
As a democratic collective, all members participate in decision-making — from reviewing new applicants to shaping the gallery’s direction in monthly meetings. A professional Director supports the gallery’s operations, ensuring the smooth coordination of exhibitions and events.
With artists from the New York metropolitan area, across the United States, and beyond, Ceres Gallery continues to serve as a vibrant, supportive community where women artists can exhibit, connect, and grow.
