NYC Gallery Guide July 2026: Closures, Relocations, and Summer Shows
During the summer months of July and August, art galleries across New York City often see decreased visitor numbers, prompting some to reduce their operational hours. Several notable changes are occurring: AIR Gallery is relocating to Greenwich Village after losing financial backing; Platform Project Space is closing its doors as Elizabeth Hazan transitions to Long Island City; Lyles & King on Henry Street is also shutting down. Meanwhile, Marinaro has established a new lease on 86 Walker Street, and Pace is downsizing. Upcoming exhibitions include works by Reuben Telushkin and 'Double Bind' at Fridman Gallery, alongside plans for March's move to 209 Canal Street in 2026.
