Alpha Gallery

Founded in 1967 to showcase contemporary artists from Boston, Alpha now covers the country and carries an impressive line of prints by modern masters.
Barbara Krakow Gallery

Since opening in 1964 with an exhibition of Ellsworth Kelly prints, Barbara Krakow’s keen judgment of contemporary art has earned her many fans – and customers.
Copley Society of Boston

With a commitment to exhibiting works by promising New England artists, this non-profit organization boasts a 120-year history of providing young artists with that crucial first break.
DeCordova museum and sculpture park

A wonderful surprise of a museum half an hour inland, in the MetroWest suburbs of Boston. Houses changing exhibitions of modern art inside its lovely, airy building, with the best sculpture park in the state outside. The small coffee shop upstairs can be a quiet place to sit an contemplate, looking out over the rolling hills to the west.
Gallery NAGA

Representing some of New England’s most regarded printmakers and painters, NAGA is possibly Newbury’s best contemporary art gallery.
Hallway Gallery

The Hallway Gallery features from-the-neighborhood artists in a gallery setting about as big as, well, a hallway. Often open late with live jazz, wine and artists at hand to answer questions. Nearby you'll find lots of great bakeries and bars as well.
International Poster Gallery

Arguably the most fun – albeit the most populist – gallery on Newbury, the IPG stocks vintage first edition movie posters and print advertisements from the belle époque .
Judi Rotenberg Gallery

Intense colors and an emphasis on graphic design distinguish the works of artist-owner Rotenberg and her contemporaries. Most artists represented are New England-based.
Neilsen Gallery

Favoring lush, contemporary paintings, and the occasional mixed-media sculpture, Nielsen is popular among Boston’s art cognoscenti for the distinction of her artists.
Panopticon Gallery

Founded in 1971, Panopticon Gallery is one of the oldest galleries in the United States dedicated solely to photography. The gallery specializes in 20th Century American Photography and emerging contemporary photography.

Panopticon Gallery is located in the Hotel Commonwealth and is conveniently situated near the Kenmore Square T stop on the Green Line.
