Our Galleries

Central to SMI’s mission is enriching Montclair and the surrounding communities by providing a free and local venue to view notable artwork by professional contemporary artists. Studio Montclair Gallery, located in Montclair’s Arts District, is a 1,000 sf nonprofit gallery space, plus a block of fully lit, UV and security protected exhibition windows adjacent to the Gallery.

We are thrilled to announce that Studio Montclair has acquired an additional gallery space in the heart of downtown Montclair! This 3,000 square foot unfinished space will create more opportunities for Studio Montclair members, including our incubator program, popup exhibits, trunk shows, and innovative installations!

The gallery is a project sponsored by three partnering organizations – Bridget and David Placek of BDP Holdings LLC who generously donated the use of the space; the Montclair Center Business Improvement District which secured a grant of $9,400 to help renovate the space; and Studio Montclair Inc, a 500+ member visual arts organization that completed the renovation with the BID grant, and a $9,500 grant from the Wolf Kahn Foundation.

Thanks to the generosity of several contractors, local stores, and the labor of board members and volunteers, a long-vacant building has been renovated and repurposed into a vibrant community space in the heart of downtown Montclair.
