Find Art South of Dimes Square
Limit-pushing galleries set the stage for new voices on Henry Street and beyond.
Last updated Feb 1, 20267 venues
Just south of Orchard Street and the buzz of Dimes Square, Henry Street
has become a hive for thrill-seeking art lovers who want to catch what’s new and what’s next. Nowhere else downtown can you find so many galleries so close together.
What unites these galleries is a shared instinct for the current moment. No matter the topic–technology, sexuality, comedy, or music–it all feels like now. Walking from one gallery to the next produces a never-ending chain reaction of ideas, with each show talking back to the next.
This is still a residential stretch: walk-ups, bodegas, schools, and churches. The galleries have woven themselves in, and on opening nights, the corner of Pike and Henry Streets comes alive. Openings spill onto the sidewalk, and the line between gallery and block party blurs.
Go say hi.
