Amos Eno Gallery is accepting applications for membership. 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 Street 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, and a part-time director.

​

Amos Eno offers two levels of Membership for artists: Artist Membership and Community Membership. Artists working in all varieties of media, at all stages of their careers are encouraged to apply.

 

Submissions from artists who identify as being part of under-represented communities are particularly encouraged to apply. There is no fee to apply for either membership level. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
