Octavia Art Gallery
New Orleans - 700 Magazine Street, Ste. 103 - LA 70130
Octavia Art Gallery is a dynamic contemporary art space known for its commitment to showcasing artists whose work explores abstraction in bold and innovative ways. Established in 2008 by Pamela Bryan, the gallery brings together emerging, mid-career, and established artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, fostering a dialogue that spans generations and geographies.

Located in New Orleans, Octavia Art Gallery serves as a platform for artistic voices that challenge conventions while honoring the traditions of modern art. The gallery holds a special place in the legacy of American art, representing the estate of Fritz Bultman, a prominent first-generation Abstract Expressionist, as well as the estate of Enrique Alférez, the renowned Art Deco sculptor whose work continues to resonate throughout the city and beyond.

Owned and operated by women, the gallery stands as a testament to the power of vision and leadership in the arts. Its programming is designed to be both accessible and thought-provoking, with seasonal exhibitions and participation in major national and international art fairs. These events allow the gallery to bring its carefully curated aesthetic to a broader audience, connecting collectors and viewers with exceptional works of art.

In addition to exhibitions, Octavia Art Gallery offers an extensive range of art services through its consultancy. These include personalized art advising, collection management, and fine art appraisals, catering to both new and experienced collectors seeking guidance and expertise.

Octavia Art Gallery continues to grow as a significant cultural force, driven by its passion for abstraction, dedication to its artists, and commitment to supporting the evolving conversation in contemporary art. Whether experienced through its thoughtfully curated shows or its presence on the art fair circuit, the gallery is a destination for those looking to engage deeply with the transformative power of visual art.

CONSTELLATION: Largest Diane Arbus Exhibition to Date
This summer, Park Avenue Armory and LUMA co-present the North American premiere of Constellation, the most comprehensive presentation of work by revolutionary photographer Diane Arbus to date. Bringing together more than 450 prints, many of them still unpublished, the exhibition offers new perspectives on Arbus’s iconic images and the breadth of humanity captured through her lens. Constellation invites viewers to chart their own course through the exhibition, revealing unexpected connections between the works and highlighting the alchemy of chance, chaos, and exploration that underlies creativity. Curated by Matthieu Humery and presented in the Armory’s Wade Thompson Drill Hall, the exhibition comes to New York City—Arbus’s hometown and where she made most of her photographs—from June 5 through August 17, 2025, following its highly acclaimed debut at LUMA Arles.

Growing Up Travelling by Jamie Johnson
I have spent my entire career photographing children all over the world. The last several years I have focused my eyes on the Irish Traveller that live in caravans on the side of the road or in open fields throughout Ireland. The Traveller community are an Irish nomadic indigenous ethnic minority. There is no recorded date as to when Travellers first came to Ireland. This is lost to history, but Travellers have been recorded to exist in Ireland as far back as history is recorded. Even with their great history they live as outsiders to society and face unbelievable racism growing up. As a mother of two daughters, I became so interested in the culture and traditions and lives of these children. I have spent many years traveling back and forth to Ireland to document these incredible children.
