About
Martinez Gallery opened in downtown Troy, N.Y., in March 2001 with the clear mission to exhibit high quality and exciting art. Its program included a specialty in Latino art. The Gallery has been successful in establishing a reputation for preparing intellectually strong and visually exciting exhibitions.
In 2012, the Gallery sought to emphasize client services.This step expanded outreach to organizations and individuals in the Capital District to promote living and working in interaction with the arts. In 2022, the Gallery moved to a historic house in Troy.
The Gallery seeks to develop new collectors, and assists experienced collectors and institutions with acquisitions, cataloguing, and other professional services. It will advise individuals and organizations on acquiring art.
Laudelina Martinez is both founder and director of the Gallery. A former national leader in higher education, Martinez served as President of the Board of an organization with a museum, and is a member of a state council that supports the arts and cultural institutions. Since 2001, Martinez has curated more than 100 exhibitions and other cultural events.
Working with Artists
The Gallery encourages artists who’d like to talk about their careers or receive feedback about their work to hold a consultation meeting with Laudelina Martinez, the Director of the Gallery.
The Director can work with artists principally in two ways: First, giving a general appraisal of the artist’s career choices thus far; and. Second, providing a critical review of the work produced thus far and areas for exploration.
