The Gift Of Art

A holiday ornament sale bennifitting the ACLU

December 2 -  December 20, 2025

Opening reception December 2, 5-8pm
Closing reception December 19, 5-8pm


Hal Bromm Gallery is pleased to present the revival of its annual holiday show THE GIFT OF ART, a pop-up exhibition in support of the ACLU featuring artist made ornaments. The exhibition will run from December 2 - 20, 2025, with special preview days taking place as a part of Fall Of Freedom November 21-22. Come find your new favorite holiday ornament while supporting the fight for free speech in America!
The ornament show was an annual gallery tradition last held in the late 90’s, when artists would create often humorous saleable artworks as ornaments to adorn the gallery tree. Often these had overtly political themes or statements that challenged the usual sugar plums and Christmas angels as the only appropriate ornaments to trim the tree. Past works have included images of Nancy Reagan astride a Cruise Missile, twisted virgins and smiling phalluses.

Given the unprecedented time now upon us, the gallery has revived this tradition as an opportunity for artists to step outside their usual imagery to create ornaments that might reflect free speech and censorship issues, or any other concern. The gallery is proud to support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) with this exhibition. A minimum of 30% of the purchase price of each ornament will go to the ACLU.

This year’s edition of THE GIFT OF ART features ornaments by over 60 artists from all over the globe. Each ornament is a unique work of art that, whether overtly political or more traditional, has been created to support the defence of free speech and expression at a time when the arts are under renewed attack.

New York, NY, September 2, 2025 – Hal Bromm Gallery is pleased to announce the digital publication of New Art, Old Buildings: Stories from Hal Bromm’s Tribeca, an account of the 50-year history and legacy of Tribeca’s first contemporary art gallery and the eponymous man who spearheaded its journey, told through the recollections of artists, writers, colleagues, collectors, and friends. The book will be released September 19, 2025 with a launch event at the gallery at 90 West Broadway at 5:30
PM, coinciding with the opening of the gallery’s 50th anniversary exhibition. Free for online download, print copies also will be available on demand for roughly $40 and can be purchased at the gallery or via the gallery’s website.

Conceived by former Gallery Directors Logan Payne and Katie Svensson, New Art, Old Buildings emerged from a shared desire to capture the essence of Hal Bromm Gallery’s legacy. What began as a conversation between Payne and Svensson blossomed into a more expansive collaborative project, a testament to the enduring bonds forged within the Gallery’s community.
