Swivel Gallery was founded in January 2021 by Graham Wilson, who designed, built and opened the first gallery venue in Nostrand 329 Avenue in an unconventional space, turning the once Restoration Tabernacle into a powerful incubator for emerging artists.

The gallery's focus is to showcase a vast range of artists' practices from all over the world, which deal with some of the most pressing themes of our generation, creating a platform for a global conversation and confrontation.

The gallery’s programming ranges from sculpture to installation, photography, painting, and new media art, often working with artists whose work is overlooked in the contemporary market. In just a year and a half, the gallery has been featured in major press outlets including Artnet, The New York Times, Artsy, Widewalls, Cultured, and Hyperallergic.

In 2023, the gallery expanded to a larger space in Brooklyn, with a new 5,000-square-foot location at 396 Johnson Avenue (the former C L E A R I N G Gallery space). In this space, the Swivel Gallery continued its mission to host compelling exhibitions for its diverse cast of emerging artists while fostering creativity and inspiring the Brooklyn community and beyond.

With the upcoming move to Manhattan and a new space at 555 Greenwich, New York City, the gallery will host a series of dynamic, hyper-focused solo exhibitions from its program, showcasing exceptional talent from both emerging and established artists.
