黑料不打烊

Momenta Art is the longest running artist run gallery in Williamsburg. With a twenty year history of showing challenging and underrepresented emerging artists, Momenta has been at the vanguard of the Brooklyn gallery scene. We remain committed to selecting work that may not be well represented in the traditional commercial gallery setting. Momenta Art was originally established in Philadelphia in 1986 by Eric Heist, Donna Czapiga and James Mills. From 1986 to 1991 the gallery operated a permanent exhibition space in Philadelphia that presented the work of approximately 250 artists. In 1992, under the direction of Eric Heist and Laura Parnes, Momenta Art relocated to New York City, functioning during this transitional phase as a migratory gallery while presenting acclaimed exhibitions in a variety of temporary venues in Manhattan. In March of 1995 Momenta Art reopened in a permanent exhibition space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The gallery strives to bring together conceptual and aesthetic concerns presented by an ethnically diverse group of artists from New York and abroad. Momenta moved to a larger space in Williamsburg in 2006. As Momenta continues to grow, it has refocused its efforts to address the needs of artists and to respond to the changes in the art market. In support of our exhibitions, the gallery publishes a newsletter that includes information about the artists and their works and an annual catalog of all gallery exhibitions. The newsletter also includes a map indicating other art spaces in the area and additional information for those unfamiliar with the art scene in Williamsburg.
