What Is Ken Saunders Gallery?

Updated

Ken Saunders Gallery is a contemporary art gallery whose program centers on exhibitions of sculpture and related three-dimensional work, presented on a rotating schedule of solo and curated group shows. Its site lists current and past exhibitions along with visiting hours, so the most reliable way to plan a visit is to check the exhibition page before you go. It is open Thursday through Saturday, 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

What the gallery shows

The exhibition list on the gallery's site points to a program built around sculpture and object-based work rather than painting or photography alone. Titles and artist names from the schedule give a sense of the range:

Exhibition Opened
Tom Doody: Memento Mori September 18, 2026
Accumulation, curated by Lily Dale August 8, 2026
Zoelle Nagib: If Not Right Here April 10, 2026
Gary Justis & John Yau: A Be Sky March 7, 2026
Carmen Lozar: The Arc of Becoming September 13, 2025
Heatstroke July 19, 2025
Local Neon February 1, 2025

Two patterns stand out. First, the gallery mixes solo presentations with curated group exhibitions, such as Accumulation and Heatstroke. Second, it pairs artists with writers or collaborators in some shows — A Be Sky is credited to both Gary Justis and John Yau — which suggests an interest in work that sits between visual art and text.

How to plan a visit

  1. Open the gallery's Exhibitions page and confirm which show is currently on view. Because openings are dated, a show listed as opening months ago may already have closed.
  2. Check the hours: Thursday–Saturday, 11:00 AM–3:30 PM. These are limited days, so a weekday visit outside Thursday will not work.
  3. If you are traveling specifically for one artist, look for that artist's name in the current listing rather than the archive, since the archive covers past shows.
  4. For anything not answered on the site — accessibility, group visits, whether a specific work is still installed — contact the gallery directly before making the trip.

What to expect from the program

The gallery's focus on sculpture and installation means a visit is likely to be object- and space-oriented: work you walk around rather than only look at head-on. Curated group shows like Accumulation and thematic titles like Heatstroke and Local Neon suggest the gallery also stages exhibitions organized around an idea or a region rather than a single artist's career.

If your interest is in a particular medium or artist, the exhibition history is the best signal of fit — scan the list for names and themes that match what you follow, then time your visit to a show that aligns.

Practical notes

  • Hours: Thursday–Saturday, 11:00 AM–3:30 PM.
  • Best source: the gallery's own Exhibitions page, which lists both current shows and an exhibitions archive.
  • Not stated on the site: admission cost, ticketing, and whether appointments are required. Treat these as unknown rather than assuming free walk-in access, and confirm with the gallery if it matters to your plans.
