ABSTRACT :
Established in 2015 and located in the heart of New York's Meatpacking District, Fort Gansevoort is a contemporary art gallery set in a Greek Revival row house built in 1849. The gallery represents artists and artists' estates from around the world. Fort Gansevoort emphasizes art that engages with cultural storytelling, social justice, and identity formation. The gallery values stories from and about subcultures that are not primarily known for artmaking. Many represented artists are community leaders, activism-oriented creators, and innovators of vernacular art-making traditions. Fort Gansevoort prides itself in presenting thoroughly contextualized exhibitions and cultivating strong relationships with museums and public institutions who exhibit and collect the work of the gallery's artists. By championing diverse perspectives, Fort Gansevoort celebrates art that inspires, empowers, and educates.
