Founder Story

Founded in 2018 by Freddie Minley. He began developing the concept while traveling the eastern coast of Africa the summer prior: “In that time it became abundantly apparent to me that art is this bizarre power, a common thread that interweaves all human experience and can be paramount in shaping a better world.” What initially began as a student-led artist collective at Columbia University in New York, matured into an art gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side. While COVID would close the physical doors — Freddie as artist ‘Freddie With The Vests’ opened new doors by expanding its scope with the advent of The FRM Gallery Productions (“The Firm”). "The Fredrick Morris Gallery facilitated the interchanging of disruptive ideas and dreams by people from all walks of life. With the 'FRM Gallery - Productions' I want to share the magic we cultivated in Tribeca and continue those conversations."
