AG Gallery

AG Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Williamsburg housed within About Glamour, a vintage clothing boutique on Grand Street. The gallery specializes in works bridging art and craft, including jewelry, pottery, and prints, with a focus on Japanese and Japan-connected artists.

AG Gallery lives inside About Glamour, a vintage-and-clothing boutique on Grand Street: you enter through the store, which is part of the point. Curator and director Natsumi Kitano has built the gallery around a consistent pull toward works that sit between art, craft, and wearable object: watercolor and ink paintings, handmade jewelry cast from molecular structures, silkscreen prints, Mashiko pottery, washi-paper collage. The roster skews heavily toward Japanese and Japan-connected artists working in New York and abroad, alongside Brooklyn locals, and the programming holds them in the same room without pretense. Art In Boxes, the annual winter group show, has run for over fifteen years: a rare kind of institutional constancy for an independent space this size. The through-line is accessibility without dilution: work that is genuinely one-of-a-kind, priced to actually leave the gallery.
