About Us

The Founded in 2015, 22 North Gallery is an independent contemporary art space in downtown Ypsilanti, Michigan. We present thought-provoking exhibitions that often explore challenging social, political, and environmental themes—work you might not want over your dining table but that urgently needs to be seen. With an intentionally low commission and no exhibition fees, we create accessible opportunities for emerging and established artists to share their ideas. The gallery also supports student shows and community collaborations, emphasizing experimentation, education, and cultural dialogue over commercial gain.

\For artists interested in showing at 22 North: we are accepting proposals for 2026. Please send your resumé, a brief statement about your work, and a link to digital images of your work to gallery@22north.org

We are located in the heart of downtown Ypsilanti at 22 North Huron street, just north of Michigan Avenue. Free public parking across the street.
