About Gallery 1581

Gallery 1581 was founded by several BGSP faculty members, artists themselves, who wanted to bring their artistic and analytic lives together.

Our mission is to keep open a visual and a conversational space where artists and psychoanalysts can enrich each other's work. We host a series of rotating shows and dialogues in which established and emerging artists are welcomed.
