Salon 94

Absolutely loved this art gallery! Even if you feel that you’re in the wrong place because it seems that you are entering in a private apartment, you’re in the right place !!! It’s free and definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby. There were just a few floors accessible, so it was quick to explore everything without feeling rushed. Highly recommend checking it out!

I love the Salon 94 gallery. They always curate an eclectic group of artists/designers. The gallery space itself is beautiful especially the top floor.

Best free art gallery with the most beautiful exhibitions.

Beautiful building, quite and cozy atmosphere inside. And gorgeous stairs on the back of the building

Each piece bursting with color and creativity. The unique and imaginative artwork captivated my attention, making for an unforgettable experience. This gallery is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates bold and beautiful art.

Beautiful, free art gallery. Definitely recommend exploring when you’re in the area. There were only a few floors open to the public so it didn’t take a very long time to see everything.

This gallery space is beautiful. I love how they protected the original walls and friezes with floating walls or special installations. The artists we saw were a diverse group of modern sculpture and mixed media artists. We enjoyed seeing the works and the space.

Gorgeous Gallery Space with Free Admission. First time visited to see the amazing exhibition Beauty Must Suffer by Karon Davis. Great exhibit and great space. Will keep this space on my watch list to visit anytime there is some thing on show.

Beautiful, free art gallery. Definitely recommend exploring when you're in the area. There were only a few floors open to the public so it didn't take a very long time to see everything. Hoping to see more artists exhibit their work here. The space itself is gorgeous.

Love that this art exhibition town house building is free to enter. It close to MFA, so if you are in the area. Def should check this building out, they also have public bathroom

I didn't spend long at Jayson Musson's show here before leaving in disgust. This collection of truly terrible art is presented with a knowing sneer, making it an unfunny joke of a show that makes fun of everyone but the artist, when it's really he who should be the butt. The walls feature some stupid abstract painintg: discrete pastel blobs sitting flat on the surface, absolutely no movement or volume or life at all in them. These are just static ugly decoration. Scattered around the floor there are some cartoonish sculptures, which for all their real volume are so toy-like and boring they might as well be flat. It's all just a caricature of what some rich guy with childish tastes might put in his house. There are some screens in the front window and along the stair leading down from the front desk to the gallery with messages in a Comic-sans-looking font, saying things like "Art Museum Next Door!" "Exhibition of Modern Art!" and so on, which implicitly compares Salon 94 itself to those tables outside the Metropolitan Museum or MoMA selling souvenir prints and overpriced postcards--I took it as a rib at Salon 94 for (arguably, somewhat tackily) moving into a space right next door to the New Museum to heighten its own profile. I wonder, what was the conversation between artist and dealer like when this piece was proposed?! A friend told me that I should check out the press release and learn about the critique that the artist was intentionally hiding in the work, but screw that. That would just be capitulating to the requirements of bad modern/conceptual art that the artist seems to hold in such low regard even as he is exploiting them to his own personal benefit in order to shit on viewers, collectors, dealers, other artists. There is nothing visually or physically interesting about this art world joke that would make it redeeming or sympathetic and I wish that, since the artist obviously hates art so much, he would just give up, go away, stop it, leave me alone.

Amazing performance space. Oliver Herring's performance for Performa 09 kicked ass.
