inception

Olympia is dedicated to dismantling the cis-male-centric art canon. In 2020, we established our permanent gallery in New York City’s Lower East Side at 41 Orchard Street. Our intimate, gem-like gallery serves as a hub for experimentation, providing artists with the physical and conceptual space to explore the dual roles of maker and curator. In the fall of 2024, Olympia expanded to the West Coast, opening an outpost in San Francisco’s historic Union Square at 349 Geary Street. Our West Coast program embraces a museum-style calendar, producing exhibitions seasonally to foster community and challenge the rapid turnover of commercial gallery practices.

Olympia has been a member of the New Art Dealers Alliance since 2021.
