    Alexander Gray Associates, Germantown is located in the Hudson Valley village of Germantown, New York. The exhibition program presents four exhibitions each year, featuring artists represented by the Gallery. This exhibition space serves as a destination for locals and visitors, and is located on the garden level of a former mechanic’s garage built in the 1920s. The space is domestically scaled, fostering an intimate experience with artworks. It features a remarkable cast-iron barrel-coved ceiling, patinated concrete floors, entered through a garden shaded by one of the Village’s oldest maple trees. Opened in May 2019, the Gallery's Germantown location emphasizes focused contemplation with a year-round exhibition program showcasing Gallery artists and special projects.

    Germantown, one of the seven original towns of Columbia County established in 1788, is located in Southwest Columbia County, mid-way between Bard College and Hudson, New York. It is home to approximately 2,000 residents, rooted in agricultural traditions and rich cultural history, built on the ancestral lands of the Mahican Nation. The area that is currently known as Germantown was originally the home of the Mohicans before they were killed and/or pushed off their land. Today it draws visitors to its small but vibrant Main Street, with unique shops including Alder & Co’s neighbors, Luddite Antiques, furniture maker Michael Robbins, jeweler Mary McGill, and floral design studio Athabold. Residents and visitors shop for groceries and prepared foods at Otto’s Market; friends gather for cocktails and dinner at Gaskins, where the bounty of local farms and food producers is celebrated.

    Germantown’s views of the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains have provided artistic inspiration for generations, notably the 19th Century Hudson River School painters, including Frederick Church and Thomas Cole. Today, Germantown and its neighboring communities–Red Hook, Tivoli, Clermont, Livingston, Catskill and Hudson–are home to numerous artists and creatives. Germantown sits in proximity to the Hudson Valley’s art destinations, including Storm King, Dia Center for the Arts, Magazzino, Bard College’s Hessel Museum, Olana, Art Omi, and Jack Shainman’s The School.
