After 21 years as a mainstay in the Nulu East Market District, it’s time to close up shop. We will be selling all art held in storage at a majorly discounted price.
Swanson Contemporary began operating in the spring of 1998 as only the second gallery in what is now referred to as Louisville’s “NuLu.” For the past eighteen years the gallery has showcased contemporary national and regional artists with an emphasis on energetic and challenging works in video, installation, photography, conceptual art, painting, performance, and sculpture.
Although the gallery frequently operates in a way that would seem consistent with a nonprofit space, the gallery director, Chuck Swanson, takes particular pleasure in furthering the careers of both talented committed younger artists and older artists by introducing their work to larger audiences and serious collectors.
