The Hole
Joyful, irreverent, and unfiltered, The Hole is where the conversations never end, and the party is just getting started.

Masked boys march through flood and fire in monumental paintings that ask: who saves us now?
Walk in With Us
Scrappy, hyper-saturated, glossy. At The Hole, Surrealism collides with pop and gets refracted through the lens of the wacky life-is-stranger-than-fiction media age we’re living in now.
Named after a much-loved early-2000s queer Manhattan nightlife staple, the art here is bold, colorful, and cheeky. Think rainbow-colored, airbrushed abstraction, objects blown to smithereens in a techno explosion, or iconic art images reimagined in the early hours of a night out.
The shows take things we think we know about fashion, graphic design, music, technology, and art, and twist them into something you could never dream up on your own. Time and time again.
About the Gallery
Kathy Grayson started The Hole in July 2010. Before that, a single wall at Dartmouth College, then eight years at Deitch Projects. She launched her first space at 312 Bowery in NoHo, across the street from John Varvatos, formerly CBGB. She added a second location in Tribeca in 2020, in the former studio of painter Peter Doig.
