A Family-Owned Art Gallery

Est. 1979

Our History.

Our first gallery opening took place on December 15th, 1979 in Park Slope.  Because of the rapport with Bearden he became our mentor and advanced our knowledge of the history and tradition of Black art in the United States.  He encouraged us to devote our talents to establishing a gallery dedicated to the work of the Black fine arts masters and the result was the foundation of Essie Green Galleries.
