The Gallery

WELCOME TO LONGYEAR GALLERY

Longyear gallery was founded in September 2007 as a cooperative venture operated by, and serving the needs of, a group of 25+ regional artists.  This concept appears very attractive to the Longyear artist members, who pay monthly dues, govern and tend to the gallery in exchange for the opportunity to show their work in a premium space without paying commissions on sales.

Located upstairs in Margaretville’s historic Commons Building, the Longyear is indeed a “premium” space.  Enter through its charming French doors to find a modern, yet warmly inviting, three-chambered gallery complete with top-of-the-line lighting and movable walls.

Naturally, the art adorning this space is of primary importance.  And the Longyear roster will not disappoint.   Representing myriad styles and media, member artists currently include:

Robert Axelrod
Leslie K. Brill
Janice DeMarino
Ann Lee Fuller
John Hopkins
Phyllis Horowitz
David Leveson
Margaret Leveson
Helane Levine-Keating
Patrice Lorenz
Frank Manzo
Helene K. Manzo

Christopher Moore
Arthur Nichols
Marilyn Silver
Richard A. Simms
Sharon Suess
Nat Thomas
Alix H. Travis
Gerda van Leeuwen
Corneel Verlaan
Ros Welchman
Susan Whittenburg
Ellen Wong

The Gallery’s member exhibitions change monthly and include work from each of the artists.  There is also a monthly solo or small-group show featuring individual Longyear members. 

While Longyear’s benefits to the artists are obvious – a permanent showroom for their work and commission-free sales, its cooperative premise also has perks for collectors.  The accessibility of the member artists is a huge plus.  There is no middle man.  If you like what you see, you will be able to get directly in touch with the artists, visit their studios, get to see more of their personal work.
