Between May 10 and June 20, 2015, the 247365 gallery in Manhattan, located at 57 Stanton Street, presented Brian Belott's exhibition titled 'Dr. Kid President Jr.' This showcase highlighted paintings created with Flashe paint on canvas, inspired by children's artwork from Belott's personal collection of books. Among the prominent pieces were 'The Bears, Marcelo Abramovsky, Age 8, Argentina (2014)' and 'Clown 1960's Art Education (2014).' The gallery also released 'Brian Belott: Early Works' along with a zine featuring children's drawings.
