Shtetl Art Gallery

A project of the Museum of Hasidic Life

Our mission

Shtetl Art Gallery · Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York · opened June 15, 2020

We are pleased to announce the grand opening of the first ever Hasidic fine art gallery - a new art gallery in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY. The gallery is located in the Condor Hotel at 56 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205.

The Gallery exhibits works of art by talented Hasidic artists, including works on Jewish history, Hasidic culture, and the sublime wonders of the natural world.

The Gallery is the first of its kind in NY, providing a unique space for Hasidic professional artists to display their artwork and creativity.

The Gallery's primary aim is to create a center for Hasidic art in the heart of vibrant Williamsburg, and to introduce and educate the greater NYC populace to the thriving Hasidic community.

The Gallery opens a lens and showcases a side of this “hidden insular” community that was not available to the general public prior to this opening.

“Williamsburg is known as a breeding ground for creative energy in the development of art, and this has spilled over to the Hasidic community as well,” observes Zalmen Glauber, founder of Shtetl Art Gallery and an artist himself. “The art will be of Jewish-themed sculptures and nature that takes the viewer on an exciting Hasidic journey, filled with twists and twirls, and opens them up to the rich and mysterious world of Hasidism in an imaginative and inspiring way.”
