THE PIERRO GALLERY

Founded in 1994, The Pierro Gallery of South Orange presents the work of diverse, established, and emerging visual artists in a non-commercial, user-friendly venue. Through its programs and exhibitions, the Gallery enhances the cultural environment of South Orange and the surrounding communities aiming to educate, enrich and engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The Pierro Gallery is a facility of the South Orange Department of Recreation and Cultural Affairs.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide a welcoming space where creativity thrives, artists flourish, and the community comes together to celebrate the transformative power of art.

We believe that art should be accessible to all, regardless of background, experience, or artistic skill. Our gallery welcomes artists of all ages, abilities, and identities, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to share their unique perspective and creativity.

We celebrate the rich tapestry of voices, cultures, and experiences that make our community unique. Our gallery showcases a diverse range of artistic styles, mediums, and perspectives.

EXHIBITIONS

The Gallery plans to present several exhibitions annually. Established and emerging artists are featured with special sensitivity to regional artists but without precluding consideration of work by any visual artist. If you are interested in curating a show, please contact arts@southorange.org.

THE NAME

The Gallery of South Orange was officially renamed the “Pierro Gallery of South Orange” on November 16, 2001, in honor of the late Lennie Pierro. He co-founded of the gallery with his wife and he was recognized for his impact and advocacy of the arts in the Village. Pierro, who was a fine artist, longtime South Orange resident, and an active member of the community, sought to bring fine art to his town as a co-operative effort between town, the residents and artists.
