Green Gallery, Art gallery in Manhattan, United States
Green Gallery is a contemporary art gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, with a focus on artists from the Middle East and the Gulf region. The space is spread across several rooms in a renovated building, with rotating exhibitions that change throughout the year.
The gallery opened in 1960, during a period when New York was becoming a central point for contemporary art worldwide. Over the decades, it shifted its focus toward artists from the Gulf region, carving out a distinct position in the city's art scene.
The gallery focuses on artists from Gulf Cooperation Council countries, bringing their work to a New York audience that rarely sees it in other local venues. This gives visitors a chance to encounter voices and visual traditions from the Middle East that are not common in Manhattan galleries.
The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday and is easy to reach by subway or bus from most parts of Manhattan. It sits in a walkable part of the Upper East Side, so it can be combined with a visit to nearby museums or other galleries.
Despite being founded in 1960, the gallery's sustained focus on Gulf region art is still a rarity among New York galleries of its age. Very few spaces in the city have maintained such a long-term commitment to a single world region.
