One Art Space in Tribeca has marked Women’s History Month with a presentation that feels both timely and deeply rooted in its identity. The gallery’s 10th anniversary exhibition unfolds through two distinct yet connected shows, “IWD 2026” and “She Is 2026,” each curated by MaryAnn Giella McCulloh.

Situated at 23 Warren Street, the gallery continues to build on its long-standing mission to bring together established names and emerging voices. For this moment, that mission takes on a focused lens, centering entirely on women artists and the breadth of their creative expression across disciplines.

A Space Defined by Women, For Women

Led by co-owners MaryAnn Giella McCulloh and Mei Fung, One Art Space positions itself as a platform that prioritizes access and visibility for women in the arts. This year’s programming reflects that commitment with clarity.

The exhibitions bring together artists working in painting, photography, sculpture, and digital media, offering a cross-section of perspectives that feel both personal and expansive. Each work contributes to a broader dialogue around identity, authorship, and presence within contemporary art spaces.

A Gallery That Bridges Generations of Art

Since opening in May 2011, One Art Space has developed a reputation for presenting a wide range of artistic practices. Its programming has included figures such as Al Diaz, Shepard Fairey, Andrew Salgado, and Purvis Young, whose work is held in institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

The gallery’s ground-level space, defined by its glass façade and natural light, creates an environment where both artwork and artist feel accessible. This physical openness mirrors its broader philosophy of connecting established legacies with emerging talent.

Where Community and Collecting Intersect

Both March receptions were designed to bring together collectors, cultural observers, and supporters of women artists. The gatherings reflected the gallery’s role not only as an exhibition space but also as a meeting point for conversation and discovery in downtown Manhattan.

As One Art Space moves through its 15th year, these exhibitions reinforce its position within New York’s cultural landscape. “IWD 2026” and “She Is 2026” do more than mark a moment on the calendar. They underline a continued commitment to amplifying women’s voices and shaping how contemporary art is experienced in the city.
