Gallery Mission

Formerly located at Bergamot Station Art Center, Laura Korman Gallery's exhibitions will continue to be online as of September, 2017. You can check our artist pages for new work. Our gallery offers a mindful approach to participating within the international and local art markets, showcasing the work of contemporary artists. The works of art encourage viewers to connect deeply with the universality of the human experience. 

Korman’s artist roster highlights the works of emerging and mid-career artists with a keen eye for the pulse of contemporary society.  Whether through vibrant color, social commentary, or innovative structural techniques, these artists offer thought-provoking imagery across a variety of media.
