David Cohen, Chief Art Critic of the New York Sun and Editor of the on-line journal artcritical.com has called First Street Gallery:
"...the most consistently energetic of the several veteran artist cooperatives that have migrated to Chelsea..."
First Street Gallery accepts submissions from artists for review. Applications are reviewed at membership meetings every 4-6 weeks. To apply artists must bring four to six original works of art to the gallery at 5:45 p.m. on the day of the meeting. This may be supplemented by slides, resume, and reviews. The submitted work should be removed from the gallery the same evening at 7:30-8:00 p.m. Where it is not possible for the artist to bring original works, slides and other materials may be sent in advance of the meeting for an initial review. Materials sent by mail should be accompanied by a SASE for their return. Results of the vote are mailed out within a week. Meetings are usually held on Fridays and the date of the next meeting can be obtained by contacting the gallery during its normal hours, Tuesday through Saturday between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm (646-336-8053).
