About:

​

IRL is an art gallery and creative platform founded in 2020, currently based in NYC. 

In 2022, after 2 years in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, IRL moved to the Chinatown/Two Bridges area, before moving to its current location in Tribeca, at 86 Walker st.

​

​

The gallery is focused on emerging, underrepresented, and mid-career artists. Dedicated to nurturing emerging artists, the gallery frequently offers them the opportunity for their inaugural exhibition in NYC. With a focus on promoting transnational dialogues, IRL Gallery curates a program that highlights process-driven and technically rigorous works, emphasizing artists who engage deeply with materiality, experimentation, and conceptual frameworks. The gallery values practices that explore the boundaries of form and technique, fostering a space where process is as vital as the final outcome.
