Art Handler Art Show

Art Handler Art Show is a group exhibition featuring artwork by professional museum and gallery art handlers, many of whom maintain creative practices alongside their behind-the-scenes work. The exhibition creates a space for art handlers to share their work with colleagues and the public, while offering insight into the people who help museums and galleries function.

The show also considers the challenges that can interrupt an art handler’s artistic practice, including limited time and money and the uncertain, highly selective nature of the visual-art world. It is curated by Sasha Perry and installed by Mike Keaveney, Nefertiti Warren, and Sasha Perry.

When: October 3–25, 2026
