Transfer (stylized as TRANSFER) is an art gallery that opened in Brooklyn, New York in 2013.[1] Transfer moved to Los Angeles in June 2019,[2] but then its physical location closed and the gallery pivoted to a virtual one.

## History

[edit]

Transfer was co-founded by Kelani Nichole and Jereme Mongeon.[3] Nichole, an independent curator, currently serves as the gallery's director.

Transfer was created to help online artists become more connected in a physical way. The gallery's objective is to allow online artists to literally "transfer" their art into a physical context using four blank walls. Given these walls, artists can revert to drawing, painting, sculpture, or photography to recreate their online work.

## Locations & Exhibitions

[edit]

In 2016, the program TRANSFER Download started traveling nationally and throughout the world with presentations in cities such as Santa Fe, New Mexico, Miami, Florida, Los Angeles, California, and New York.[4]
