Chelsea Gallery

The Rhonda Schaller studio specializes in contemporary living American Artists.

We have relocated from Tribeca to a beautiful old warehouse building filled with Fine Art galleries and artist studios.

Our new space is on the 5th floor of 547 West 27th Street, between 10th and 11th avenue.

It’s an open artists working studio, where you can visit with the artist in her studio, view the current exhibition of one of our Gallery artists, or choose from a variety of exciting new works from The Art Link Network/Gallery database. Our Art Link Network is a group of talented, hand picked emerging and re-emerging artists featured monthly on our new website, and in our themed group shows.

Our Mission is to navigate the Manhattan art world with integrity and passion, and provide a selection of soulful and thought provoking imagery as a source of commentary, personal or cultural reflection, and public enjoyment. We believe artists, emerging and re-emerging, are essential to this process, and those so engaged help to transform the collective mindset towards a nobler future.
