Community Membership Application

The Amos Eno Gallery is thrilled to offer professional artists in the NYC area the opportunity to join the gallery at the level of Community Membership. This more affordable membership option offers a smaller range of benefits than our "full" Member level, and it is an excellent way for local artists to engage with the gallery and fellow artists to foster a creative and supportive community.

Our nonprofit, artist-run cooperative gallery has been a fixture in the NY art scene since 1974 when it opened in Soho and has moved with changing arts neighborhoods over the years to land at our current space at 191 Henry St. on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

Amos Eno Gallery is open Thursday-Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. and is run by a small community of professional artists whose Members are vetted through a rigorous reviewing process by their peers. Applications will be evaluated based on a developed body of work that demonstrates technical excellence, as well as a distinctive artistic voice and vision.

Emerging artists based in the NYC area, working in all varieties of media, at all stages of their careers, are encouraged to apply for Community Membership. Submissions from artists who identify as being part of under-represented communities are particularly encouraged. There is no fee to apply.

Benefits

Inclusion in at least one group show in the gallery per year and one group show on Artsy.
Promotion on a dedicated Community Membership webpage on amoseno.org with the artist’s name, 3 images of work, and a 250-word bio/artist statement for each artist, and inclusion in Artsy.net exhibitions.
Inclusion of up to 3 small works/prints in the print rack in the gallery.
Periodic opportunities for small 2- or 3-person shows, curated by the Director, as space is available.
