539 W 23rd Street, 10011, New York City
SOHO PHOTO GALLERY was founded in 1971 by a group of New York Times photographers that believed there was a need in the photographic community for a cooperative gallery where serious photographers could exhibit their personal work and exchange ideas, learn and grow as artists. The group rented a loft space at Prince St. and West Broadway. Soho Photo was in business and offered an alternative to uptown commercial galleries. With membership growing and pressed for more space, the gallery moved to W. 13th St. in Greenwich Village after just one year. In 1979, Soho Photo relocated to 15 White St. in Tribeca, a former egg warehouse that provided greatly expanded exhibition space. After 45 years in Tribeca, Soho Photo Gallery relocated to 539 W. 23rd St. in April 2025, just past the High Line, in the heart of the Chelsea Arts District. Our spacious new gallery will allow us to continue showcasing a wide range of fine-art photography in seven bays. The gallery exhibits the work of our members, guest exhibitors, and artists whose work has been selected in our various competitions. The work of members and guests is as varied as the photographers themselves – everything from pictorial and documentary to abstract and conceptual. Large digital color prints may be seen hanging next to delicate 19th century type platinum or palladium prints; hand-colored works coexist with manipulated Polaroid images.
