Since its founding in 1991, the Richard Levy Gallery has been a vital platform for contemporary art in Albuquerque and beyond. With a strong focus on supporting emerging and established artists, the gallery serves as both a local hub and an international conduit for innovative creative expression. Hosting between six to ten exhibitions annually, the gallery consistently showcases a dynamic range of media and styles, offering audiences thought-provoking and visually compelling experiences.
The gallery is known not only for its curatorial rigor but also for its commitment to community engagement. It has played a key role in collaborative initiatives such as Land Art New Mexico and the International Symposium for Electronic Art. One standout project, *On the Map: Unfolding Albuquerque Art and Design*, brought together more than thirty organizations to celebrate and elevate the city's creative landscape. These efforts reflect the gallery's broader mission of cultural enrichment and civic involvement.
Richard Levy Gallery also participates in national and international art fairs and produces satellite exhibitions that expand its reach beyond its physical location. As a publisher of limited edition prints and multiples, the gallery has partnered with influential artists including Lorna Simpson, Richard Tuttle, and David Levinthal. These editions have become part of prominent museum and private collections around the world.
The gallery maintains an ongoing dedication to social responsibility through benefit exhibitions that support causes such as women’s health, environmental advocacy, and community aid. Whether through curating a solo exhibition or collaborating on public projects, Richard Levy Gallery remains steadfast in its mission to amplify contemporary voices and bring art into meaningful dialogue with the wider world. It stands as a beacon for both artistic excellence and socially conscious practice in the American Southwest.
