Where Art Lives in Freehold

Autumn Stream by Carolyn Tishler Bartlett

Freehold Art Gallery is located in Downtown Freehold Borough, New Jersey, which was the historic halfway point for stagecoaches between New York City and Philadelphia. Now Freehold Borough is a cultural hub and the gathering place for a vibrant local community. Boasting a diverse collection of New Jerseys best resturants, The Borough also offers holiday parades, weekly farmers markets, food truck festivals, a summer concert series, cultural celebrations, outdoor family movie night and Center Players Theater Company. Freehold Art Gallery often opens extra hours to accomodate visitors to these events. We’re happy to provide a docent tour for group tours.

Fine Art Made Local

Our Mission is to feature all mediums of art from both emerging and established local New Jersey artists, select works by artists from around country and the world, as well as prints, historic maps, photographs, documents, and other unique pieces.

As your local art gallery, we welcome browsing and are happy to work with you for your decorating needs. With new art exhibits every six weeks, stop in with family or friends often to see what’s new. Make date night or “girls night out” special with a stop at the gallery before dinner or a show. We hope the Freehold Art Gallery will serve as a hub for the artistic community of Freehold and beyond, as well as a community gathering spot.

Our opening receptions for new shows are open to the public and are an opportunity to see the new exhibits, meet local artists and other art aficionados in a relaxing, social atmosphere. Click here to see our hours, directions and contact info. Come in and join the fun!

Artists! We are your local gallery. Please review our artists guidelines, and contact us.  

The Freehold Art Gallery has four show spaces on the second floor of the former J.J. Newbury Co. Department Store. These unique gallery rooms blend the traditional 19th century salon styles inherent to the space with the needs of a contemporary art gallery, creating an elegant but modern atmosphere for artists to display their work and for you to host your small event or function. We are a BYOB and offer catering services from many of the local restaurants. We also host live music, artists talks and other public events.

The Main Gallery: Showcases the wide array of local talent native to Freehold, Monmouth County, and New Jersey alongside works by artist from throughout the United States and around the world.

The Central Gallery: Features eight (8) curated exhibits per year aimed to highlight specific themes or artists and to inspire and expose our patrons to a wide range of art styles and forms. The Lounge Gallery: Features specialty exhibits aimed to highlight specific themes or artists and to inspire and expose our patrons to a wide range of art styles and forms.

The Reception Hall: Contains our prints, our historic maps, photography and documents, as well as some larger pieces, framing display, and CD’s of local musicians.
