Blackfish Gallery is one of the most enduring and successful cooperative art galleries in the United States. We have been fully owned and operated by working artists since 1979. We are dedicated to the highest standards of excellence in both the selection and presentation of works of art. We have a reputation for exhibiting challenging contemporary work by our own artists and invited guests. Each of the projects to which we make a commitment is designed to carry out the three goals that support Blackfish's mission:

We seek out and present outstanding visual art within the context of thought-provoking ideas.

We provide a forum and venue for artists creating unique work that may exist beyond retail and commercial boundaries.

We reach for a broader and more diverse audience by continuing to program exhibitions and events with themes having significance for a wide cross section of our community.
