There are over 500 contemporary art galleries in New York City, but only a handful exhibit the work of emerging and mid-career artists. New Century Artists, Inc. is a not-for-profit art group, which encourages, supports, and exhibits the work of minority artists from under-represented communities, such as gay and lesbian, various ethnic groups, people of color, differently abled, women, and artists of all ages including seniors and children.

Since its inception in September 1996, New Century Artists has shown the work of approximately 300 national and international artists, in over 50 solo and group exhibitions, in all media. New Century Artists is committed to exhibiting quality work, as well as providing a nurturing environment for lesser known artists to network and develop their ideas.
