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.

All About Photo Presents ’Rural Life in the Hudson Valley’ by Susan Anthony
The photographs in this exhibition are part of a project about rural life in the Hudson Valley. For the past five years, I have been taking photographs of individuals and families in upstate New York. Having spent many years as a weekender and homeowner, most of the people I knew were other New Yorkers, and I never had the chance to meet people who grew up in this rural area. During the pandemic, I spent many hours outside with my camera, walking along the road and photographing local residents. Eventually, I decided to create a project about the people I met. Now, as some of these individuals have become friends, I continue to meet others whose families have lived in this area for many generations.
Matthew Arthur Williams:  In Consideration of Our Times

All About Photo Presents ’The Witching Hour’ by Anastasia Sierra
I become a mother and stop sleeping through the night. Years go by, the child sleeps soundly in his bed but I still wake at every noise. My father comes to live with us and all of a sudden I am a mother to everyone. As I drift off to sleep I can no longer tell my dreams from reality. In one nightmare my father tells me he’s only got two weeks left to live, in another I am late to pick up my son from school and never see him again. I am afraid of monsters, but instead of running, I move towards them: we circle each other until I realize that they are just as afraid of me as I am of them.
