About BOWERY ARTISTS INC

Bowery Artists Inc is a New York–based 501(c)(3) arts organization (established 1993) that operates a member-run cooperative gallery program often referred to publicly as Bowery Gallery. The organization presents juried and invitational exhibitions, runs an annual juried competition, and supports art-education and exhibition opportunities for member artists.

In recent filings the group reported modest annual revenues and operates with volunteer leadership and limited or no paid staff; fiscal-year reporting shows program-focused activity rather than large-scale fundraising or grantmaking. Over the last 2–3 years the organization maintained an active exhibition schedule through gallery listings and member shows (including juried exhibitions in 2024–2025) while continuing to file annual Form 990/990-EZ returns with the IRS.
