MARCH

MARCH gallery is a curatorial platform committed to exploring the vital relationship between contemporary art and social justice. Founded in 2020 by Phillip March Jones, MARCH emerged at a moment of global reckoning, positioning itself as a flexible and responsive space for artistic voices that are too often overlooked. Rather than operating within a single fixed location, the gallery adopts a dynamic model, presenting exhibitions online, through institutional partnerships, and in thoughtfully chosen off-site venues. This approach allows MARCH to meet audiences where they are, fostering accessibility, relevance, and meaningful engagement.

Photography holds a central place within the MARCH program, reflecting the medium’s long-standing role as both witness and catalyst for social change. Through documentary, conceptual, and experimental photographic practices, the gallery highlights artists who use the camera to examine power, identity, history, and lived experience. These projects often move beyond the traditional exhibition format, incorporating text, archives, and community-driven narratives that deepen the social and political resonance of the images. At MARCH, photography is understood not simply as representation, but as an active tool for visibility, dialogue, and accountability.

In addition to exhibitions, MARCH is deeply invested in education and publishing as extensions of its curatorial mission. Essays, artist conversations, and printed or digital publications accompany many projects, offering critical context and amplifying the voices behind the work. This emphasis on scholarship and discourse reinforces the gallery’s belief that art functions most powerfully when paired with thoughtful reflection and open exchange. Photography-based projects in particular benefit from this layered approach, allowing complex stories to unfold across multiple platforms.

As a public-benefit corporation based in New York City, MARCH aligns its artistic mission with tangible action. The gallery regularly supports nonprofit organizations working in art, culture, and social equity, reinforcing a belief in art as a force for positive change. By foregrounding under-recognized photographers and artists working across disciplines, MARCH continues to build a program that is principled, forward-looking, and deeply engaged with the realities of the world we inhabit.
