We are committed as much to the arts as to the artists who produce the work, and our desire is to help Burlington artists thrive, connecting emerging artists with emerging patrons. To that end, New City Galerie is organizing high quality exhibits, concerts, film screenings and lectures in an inclusive, high artist-commission gallery space for these emerging artists and especially for artists that live and work in communities that have historically been excluded from the activities of the city.
