About Blue Door Gallery

About Us

Blue Door Gallery, a not-for-profit exhibition and performance space, is a local resource that is proving to be the educational and inspirational entity we had hoped it to be for our community. As we showcase and support artists from the tri-state area, we aim to become a destination for the wider audience exploring the arts and activities in the Yonkers Downtown Waterfront area.

We are looking forward to seeing you at one of our exciting shows. All are always welcome to our free exhibitions.

Arlé Sklar-Weinstein

Director, Blue Door Gallery

Note of interest: Some people have asked where the name Blue Door Gallery comes from since there is no blue door at the gallery. The gallery simply takes its name from the color of the apartment door of one of its founders.
