Palo Gallery was established in 2018 in New York City by third-generation art collector Paul Henkel with a focus on academic and historically contextualized contemporary art. Scholarship and art historical canon are at the forefront in the consideration of each exhibition as their program’s curatorial focus aims to frame contemporary art within the context of art and social history.

Originating as a pop-up, the gallery opened its first brick and mortar on Bond Street in NoHo in September 2022, offering 3,400 square feet of exhibition space, giving artists the opportunity to work on a large scale. In June 2024, Palo’s second location in New York City opened in the East Village, serving as a more intimate space for emerging artists and experimental exhibitions to have their own spotlight. In September 2025, during their seventh year, Palo Gallery decided to phase out of their location on Bond Street as they dive deeper into focusing on their program, artist mentorship and client relationships. Today, Palo remains committed to offering artists unique opportunities to explore pivotal, intersecting cultural and historical topics through thought-provoking exhibitions.
