Adriaan (the gallery owner) has such a great passion for art and the art community and this passion is tangible in the curation of this space. If you are a fan of colorful and expressive works, street art, and the work of both established and emerging artists, I highly recommend stopping by the gallery. They frequently put on new shows so theres always something exciting and refreshing going on.

As an out-of-state artist whos now had multiple opportunities to work with Adriaan and staff, I can say that I truly consider Van Der Plas gallery my community away from my home-base.Being from Baton Rouge, Louisiana- I had the ability to fly up to New York for my first gallery. Since then, Ive already been chosen to participate in a second exhibition, both with this gallery. This has not only been an honor, but it has also increased the amount of work I am selling, both in NYC and Louisiana.Beyond my personal experience, all of my friends and colleagues who also attended the Harvest Moon exhibition, which was my first gallery experience in NYC, were impressed with how professional, modern, and cool the atmosphere was. All are excited to attend the Red Yellow Blue exhibition as well.As a final note- I really enjoyed the fact that the gallery does not charge entry to patrons for the exhibitions. It allows the gallery to be an inclusive space, and I really enjoy that aspect of it. All love.

Adriaan and his team run a very professional gallery. I have twice exhibited here in a group show and sold a piece in the most recent one. I am very impressed with their generous efforts to help artists succeed and the time they take to engage with potential buyers. Well curated shows in a cool LES location.

I started coming here after doing a LES walking tour of galleries. This one is by far the coolest one I went to. My girlfriends and I try and go to their monthly art shows. Cool artists and even better conversations. Sweet old Russian man in a Seabiscuit hat always has an interesting story to tell. Cant wait for the summer time to walk around in the neighborhood.

I very much enjoyed being a part of the “Harvest Moon” Exhibition. Working with Adriaan has been wonderful experience.

I really like this gallery. One of my friends shows here a lot and the opening parties are always great and draw a really mixed crowd. The owner seems like a great guy and his staff are cute and friendly.

They represent my favorite artist, Eduardo Terrenova.

Beautiful art from all around the world. Cool vibes. Very expressive

The old racist Austrian who owns this place has no background in Art. He has had NO Art education and cant even draw obvious connections between Modern Art and the WELL KNOWN classics they were inspired by. He also doesnt accept art submissions from black artists. Adriaan Van Der Plas is only in it for the money. I do NOT recommend this VANITY gallery.

Well curated and worth your time.

Killer opening receptions...usually on Wednesdays 6-8.Awesome artwork, keep it up!Best,Bob

Great little gallery. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful space and curated work! Reasonably priced art and a very friendly owner.

An intimate two-level gallery with carefully curated group shows. Worth a visit.

Great art gallery! They always have great exhibits!

I just went to this gallery with my friend and this old creepy white dude who either works there or owns the place, was following us around like he was trying to make sure we wouldnt steal anything. I heard him call us apes under his breath as we were leaving and say something about the jungle

My experience with the Van der plas Gallery has been nothing less than excellent. Mr. Van der plas cares about every aspect of this business - the artist, collector, customer, employee, and all other associates. He has an unparalleled passion for what he does and it is clearly reflected in his business practices. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add to or begin their own collection.

Why do people hold their dogs so much on this street, also love daniels leather

Reliably fantastic exhibits

A tiny but nice place
