About Us

Martinez Gallery was opened in March 2001 with the clear mission to exhibit high quality art and offer outstanding value to its patrons. It has been successful in establishing a reputation for preparing intellectually strong and visually exciting exhibitions. Throughout this time, Laudelina Martinez, founder of the Gallery, curated more than 100 exhibitions, as well as other cultural events.

In 2015, the Gallery moved to emphasize client services for individuals and institutions while still presenting artists in exhibitions. It devotes its efforts to bring together artists and patrons for the sale or rental of art.  With this change, Martinez Gallery is involved in a broad attempt to promote everyday living and working in interaction with the arts.

Martinez Gallery seeks to develop new collectors and help experienced collectors with acquisitions, cataloguing, and other professional services.

The founder of the Gallery, Laudelina Martinez, is also its director.  A former higher education professional, Martinez has served as President of the Board of an organization that runs a museum, and as a member of a state council that supports arts and cultural institutions.

Working with Artists

The Gallery encourages artists who’d like to talk about their careers or receive feedback about their work to meet with Laudelina Martinez, the Director of the Gallery.

There are two ways the Director can work with artists. First, she can give a general appraisal of the artist’s career choices thus far. Second, she can provide a critical review of the work produced thus far and areas for exploration.

At the initial meeting, the Director will identify the targets to be achieved in future sessions in collaboration with the artist. Through this individualized consultation, Laudelina Martinez will provide an appraisal of the artist’s professional choices thus far. This could include professional areas and strategies for further exploration by the artist.

In working individually with mid-career and mature artists, a review of the current status of the artist could lead to an evaluation of the artist’s written materials and presentation if needed.

The artist may choose as well to get critical attention the Director. This would be aimed at providing attention to individual artistic growth.

The cost for the consultation, $100 an hour,  takes into account regional standards, thus, lower than in other markets.
