Swivel Gallery was founded in January 2021 by Graham Wilson, who designed, built and opened the first gallery venue in Nostrand 329 Avenue in an unconventional space, turning the once Restoration Tabernacle into a powerful incubator for emerging artists.  

The gallery's focus is to work closely with artists on development and to help guide and formulate their first exhibitions and their career and opportunities thereafter.  

Our programming ranges from sculpture, to installation, photography, painting, and new media art, often working with artists whose work is overlooked in the contemporary market.  In just a year and a half, the gallery has been featured in major press outlets including Artnet, The New York Times, Artsy, Widewalls, Cultured, and Hyperallergic.  

Our artists have gone on to exhibit with major galleries in this short time both domestic and international, and exhibited in its first shows the likes of Asif Hoque, Luján Perez, Kennedy Yanko, Amy Bravo, Ernesto Burgos, Brenda Goodman, Kiki Smith, and Donte Hayes to name a few.  

With the recent  expansion in the new 5,000 square foot location in 396 Johnson Avenue (the former C L E A R I N G Gallery space), the Swivel Gallery continues its mission to host compelling exhibitions for its diverse cast of emerging artists, while fostering creativity and keep inspiring the Brooklyn community, and beyond.
