This November, BoxHeart Gallery launches its 25th anniversary year with These Walls Talk, a sweeping exhibition that brings together the artists whose voices have shaped our gallery’s unique identity. On view from November 12, 2025, through January 23, 2026, this ambitious exhibition honors our gallery’s legacy while offering a clear look toward a new kind of art future that is shaped by care, purpose, and sustainability. Join us for a spirited #artparty on Saturday, November 15th, from 5–7 PM. This won’t be your typical gala.
It’s a reunion. A thank you. A little punk. And 100% BoxHeart.
Another one for the books but alas, nothing lasts forever.
25 Years, Artist by Artist
Over the past two and a half decades, BoxHeart has refused to participate in the arms race of the commercial art world. Instead, we’ve built something quieter but more powerful: a relationship-first model that uplifts artists, prioritizes long-term collaboration, and centers independent vision over fleeting trends. These Walls Talk tells that story, not through slogans, but through the artwork itself.
The exhibit features new artists Lynne Feinberg, Alison Stein, Craig Marcus, Gabriel Boyajian, and Laura Thompson as well as new artwork by Keith Garubba, Sonja Sweterlitsch, Ellen Silberlitsch, Nzuji De Magalhaes, Augustina Droze, Karen Antonelli, Salvador Di Quinzio, Mary Becker, Seth Clark, Natalie Shahinian, Irina Koukhanova, Melissa Kuntz, Richard Pian, Sara Catapano, Deborah Kollar, Deanna Mance, Jeffrey Smith, Sue Ann Southworth, Zim Syed, The Narfs, Todd Pinkham, and others—alongside contributions from longtime collaborators like Nichole Gronvold Roller, Karen Grosman, Kuzana Ogg, Clara Fialho, Annie Heisey, Tiffany Budzisz, Robert Mirek, Belgin Yücelen, Stephanie Gonzalez, Nicole Renee Ryan, Aster Da Fonseca, Carolyn Wenning, Carolyn Reed Barritt, Erika Stearly, Heather Kanazawa, TK Mundok, Andrew Ooi, Hannah Pierce, and me!
Our roster reflects what many in the art world are only now beginning to take seriously: a practice rooted in diversity, equity, and authenticity. The exhibition includes voices across backgrounds, geographies, disciplines, and career stages and features women artists, LGBTQ+ artists, immigrant artists, and self-taught makers, all contributing to a collective visual chorus of what it means to stay true over time.
As high-profile galleries restructure or dissolve, BoxHeart offers a different future. Not bigger. Not faster. Just better. What began in 2001 as a storefront gallery has become a case study in resilient, intentional creativity. In our model, being small isn’t a limitation. It’s an advantage. It’s how you listen more closely. Work more humanely. And grow more honestly. This exhibit marks more than a milestone. It hints at our final chapter. We’re not building an empire. And this might be your last chance to witness what that really means.
BoxHeart’s 2026 schedule of exhibitions will present a tight calendar of six exhibitions, each deliberately spaced to allow for deeper engagement, personal storytelling, and collector connection. The year will feature thoughtfully paced solo and duo exhibitions by artists Sonja Sweterlitsch, The Narfs, Nichole Gronvold Roller, Erika Stearly, and Seth Clark + Jeffrey Smith, along with curated front-room mini exhibits that expand the dialogue without overcrowding it. I’m excited to begin our 25th year with Piecing It Together, an exhibit that will feature my artwork alongside artwork by Jason Saur and Craig Marcus.
Now the walls talk. They carry the echo of every exhibit, every conversation, every sale, every act of belief that made this place real.
