Canada

Canada is an artist run contemporary art gallery based in New York that opened in Lower Manhattan in 1999, founded by a small group of artists committed to supporting the needs and energies of an improvised and evolving community. From its inception, the gallery has emphasized collective participation, with artists and audiences actively contributing to the culture and direction of the space. Canada has become known for presenting and promoting art in a manner that is at once irreverent, serious, and accessible, balancing experimentation with strong artistic commitment. Now operating two spaces in Tribeca on Lispenard Street, the gallery has retained its unconventional structure and remains deliberately divergent in its programming, maintaining a distinctive position within New York’s contemporary art landscape.
