Arsenal Contemporary — gallery cover

Curatorial Ethos

The organization's mandate is to support the creation, production, and dissemination of contemporary Canadian art through exhibitions that showcase Canadian artists alongside international peers. In New York, it adopts a collaborative approach by partnering with renowned curators and galleries to provide Canadian artists with a larger international platform.

Arsenal Contemporary Art is a private art center and cultural initiative founded by patrons Pierre and Anne-Marie Trahan, operating locations in Montreal (since 2011), New York (since 2017), and previously Toronto. The New York gallery is located at 21 Cortlandt Alley in Tribeca and functions as a commercial gallery within this broader institutional framework. It serves as an international platform for contemporary Canadian artists, often presenting their work in the US for the first time.
