Mission + History

Weinberg/Newton Gallery was a non-commercial gallery with a mission to collaborate with nonprofit organizations and artists to educate and engage the public on social justice issues. Through artwork and programming, the gallery provided a vital space for open discourse on critical contemporary issues facing our communities. Connecting artists with social justice organizations, they worked to drive change and cultivate a culture of consciousness.

In 2016, David Weinberg Photography became Weinberg/Newton Gallery. The change reflected the values of The Weinberg/Newton Gallery Family Foundation, which has been led jointly by David Weinberg and Jerry Newton since 2009.

The gallery permanently closed its doors in 2023.
