Bodega opened in New York City in 2014. The gallery is focused on a diverse range of socially engaged practices of primarily emerging artists. The gallery grew out of an artist-run project space and has maintained a commitment to artistic practices at the ground level, providing the first New York solo exhibitions for many of the artists they work with. Bodega currently represents Zoe Barcza, Gene Beery, Jason Benson, Whitney Claflin, Sam Lipp, Orion Martin, Andy Meerow, Alexandra Noel, D'Ette Nogle, Elizabeth Orr, Carlos Reyes, Em Rooney, Naoki Sutter-Shudo and Dena Yago.
