NOVELLA GALLERY is thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Paddle8 for our Spring Benefit Auction.  Seventy artists have generously donated work in support of our unique LES space and artist-driven programming.  Reception/Auction Viewing will be held on May 2nd and 3rd, 6-10 PM.  Online bidding on Paddle8 begins April 28th and runs through May 9th.

Since opening in late 2012, NOVELLA has organized 15 memorable exhibitions in collaboration with emerging and established artists.  At NOVELLA, artists are at the forefront of our program: proposing and curating their own shows, writing their own press releases, and organizing their own events.  When artists are given this freedom, it is amazing what they can do.  This is why our artist-run space is such an important and unique venue in the Lower East Side.

NOVELLA is grateful for the extraordinary support we have received over the course of a year and a half.  A large community of practitioners has rallied around our program, transforming the way we think, talk, share and exhibit artwork.  As we prepare to enter another season of programming, we have partnered with Paddle8 to hold a fundraiser. Our mission is dedicated to organizing a program that not only takes risks but also talks back to the world.  Your donation means you value what we do and you want to see it grow.
