Stephen Street Gallery is a small but mighty artist collective and exhibition space located in Ridgewood, Queens.

First opening our doors to the public in February 2023, the gallery has since hosted over 10 shows, featuring 75 local emerging artists.

Our mission is to hold space for unusual works, for projects that veer into the experiential, and for objects that aren’t traditionally salable. We do this by keeping our overhead low, our spirits high, and our duties communal.

The street for which Stephen Street is named, and is located on, runs 3.25 blocks through a working class part of Queens. It is diverse, bustling, and neighborly — we intend to reflect rather than overwrite this context. We exhibit hyper-local artists and every event is open to the public.
