Trident Gallery

About

A fine art gallery showing contemporary art and performance in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Story

Trident Gallery shows beautiful and intelligent contemporary art in all mediums, emphasizing the work of artists continuing Gloucester’s rich legacy as a center for new American Art.

Every five weeks, the gallery presents a new exhibition of contemporary art in the Main Room. More works of art are on display in two additional rooms. Visitors may also browse background materials and images of an extensive inventory curated by the Director on Ultra-HD monitors and a 106" projection screen, before selecting art to view in person in the gallery, its nearby Annex Building, or at the client’s home or place of work. The Gallery Director personally guides clients through the review and selection process.

Gallery Director Dr. Matthew Swift curates and produces gallery exhibitions, drawing on over twenty years of multi-disciplinary scholarship, teaching, and creative exploration.

The Trident Live Art Series presents performances by seasoned professionals showing experimental and collaborative work in the intimate salon setting of the gallery.

Live Art Series Director Sarah Slifer Swift curates and produces the performances, drawing on two decades of experience in the United States and abroad as a dance artist, choreographer, and producer.

Compelling art, illuminating critical context, and dedicated professionalism distinguish Trident Gallery as a singular resource for collectors, corporate clients, and the public.

The rugged and beautiful region of Cape Ann has attracted great artists for more than a century and a half. Today, as in the past, a large community of artists thrives here, sustained and guided by a keen sense of place, by connections to each other, and by their long tradition of artistic excellence.

Trident Gallery is located in a purpose-built space within the elegant Gloucester Safe Deposit and Trust building of 1880 in the heart of historic downtown Gloucester and the Gloucester Harbortown Cultural District. At the back of the spacious main gallery are a library and a small gallery with black walls within a vault.
