Converge Gallery was founded in 2011. The gallery, already internationally recognized for its ambitious program, has been extremely selective and focused on both emerging and notable mid-career artists with an increasingly more conceptual direction oriented to display the most challenging and innovative art. What we are trying to do, without any pretense to define art, is to elevate the discussion
about art, reality and perception. Converge Gallery’s goal is to sell the meaning and cultural context of an artwork along with the individual point of view of the artist that, encouraged to aim for a certain level of aesthetic value, clarity of content and vision is also required, as well as the ideal collector, to have an extensive knowledge about the intricate dynamics of contemporary art. The greatest achievement for us would be to extend the boundaries of art beyond art itself and generate a dialectic exchange between artist and general public by interacting with the other disciplines with the objective to determine a wider understanding of what is happening here and now. The work shown has a progressive spark that is informed by the contemporary international zeitgeist. The work can be further described as having a vitality and presence that transcends styles and schools of art that are often codified in the art world, marketplace and academia. Converge is trying something a little bit radical by being a contemporary art gallery in Williamsport, PA and in New York City and other cultural capitals simultaneously.
