Exhibitions that flirt with your soul
Min Park Art Project is a contemporary art gallery based in Chelsea, New York. Founded in 2022 by curator and collector Min Park, the gallery presents exhibitions that are emotionally resonant, conceptually precise, and quietly provocative.
Every show begins with a question. Not a theme, not a trend—an actual question. What connects us across culture? What does beauty make us remember? What’s hiding beneath the surface of what we show?
The gallery’s point of view is distinctly New York: diverse, fast-thinking, global in tone but local in sharpness. It regularly features artists whose work engages intimacy, identity, and aesthetic restraint. The program often includes works from Park’s private collection, especially contemporary Korean pieces that rework traditional techniques with modern clarity.
Community is central to the gallery’s rhythm. Its openings draw the city’s creative crowd—young collectors, artists, editors, thinkers—many of whom don’t want to leave. The gallery also partners with nonprofits and cultural foundations to extend its reach beyond the market.
Min Park Art Project is not chasing attention. It is building a language.
Curator, Collector & Nonprofit Founder
Min Park is the founder of Min Park Art Project, a Chelsea-based gallery, artist representation, and consulting organization dedicated to building sustainable careers for emerging and mid-career artists.
Since founding the gallery, Min has curated exhibitions that span the full range of human experience — from the sacred to the profane, the tender to the confrontational. Don’t Fuck It Up (2023) brought together four LGBTQ+ artists during Pride week. Color Cult explored spirituality and color across six artists from multiple nationalities and cultures, introducing Korean artist Sang Don Kim to U.S. gallery audiences for the first time. Pantheon (2024) examined religious expression and the divine through contemporary artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Vulnerable States: Reshaping the Unseen turned inward, asking artists to reflect on fragility, conformity, racial inequality, and the invisible forces that shape us. Peep Show: Hungry Eyes (2025) interrogated voyeurism and the architecture of watching in a screen-saturated city. And The Toy Box (2025) transformed the gallery into a whimsical world of sculpture and painting channeling the emotional power of childhood memory.
Her curatorial practice centers artists who operate at cultural intersections — Korean-American voices, Bronx-based painters, Indigenous artists, LGBTQ+ artists — and the gallery’s programming consistently reflects a founding commitment to creating space for difference while finding common ground.
Beyond exhibitions, Min represents artists, secures grant funding on their behalf, places artists’ books in library collections, and provides the kind of business infrastructure the art world rarely offers. She is also the founder of the Min Park Foundation (501c3 in progress), and has built an engaged community of over 36,000 on Instagram.
