The art gallery Ruby\/Dakota, which debuted in late July 2024<\/a> at 155 E. Second St., just east of Avenue A, has closed as of March 1.\u00a0In a note shared with EVG, founder Hannah Studnick thanked the neighborhood for its support during the gallery’s provocative<\/a> run.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Thank you to the East Village for making me a gallerist, and for welcoming us with open arms,” she said. “I look forward to the day when we have a new white cube to hang our culture in, and I hope that that space is in EV. ‘Til next time. Don’t be sad. We’re still cooking. New York isn’t dead yet.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Studnick said she’s currently working on a pop-up exhibition at Kembra Pfahler’s East Village apartment, with hopes of keeping the next show in the neighborhood. The apartment is painted entirely red \u2014 floor to ceiling \u2014 inspiring the idea for a blue-themed exhibition if the plans come together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So while the gallery space on Second Street has gone dark, Ruby\/Dakota may still surface nearby for future shows.<\/p>\n
