After more than five years at 62-64 Avenue A, March gallery is headed south.
The gallery has shown its last exhibition here, and will open in a new space this fall at 209 Canal St. (#3).
Per an Instagram post: "March is pleased, elated, thrilled, content, and generally enthused about moving to 209 CANAL STREET this September. Our new space is located on one of the most iconic streets in Manhattan, a stone's throw from both Tribeca and SOHO. See you then. See you there."
Phillip March Jones debuted March here between Fourth Street and Fifth Street in May 2021... before expanding into an adjacent storefront the following winter.
New owners bought the block-long building in the fall of 2022, leading to an exodus of tenants.
Staff here told us that the lease was up, and "all the galleries are moving," noting "there's more traffic in Tribeca."
March is the latest gallery to either close or move away from the East Village in recent years, a list that includes:
• Karma closed three galleries here and now operates from a 10,000-square-foot space on West 26th Street.
• Ruby/Dakota closed earlier this year after 18 months on Second Street.
• In 2022, Ki Smith Gallery relocated from Fourth Street to Forsyth on the LES
• Gratin left 76 Avenue B in late 2024 for space on both Grand Street and White Street.
• O'Flaherty's left Avenue A and Third Street in the summer of 2024 after a memorable 18-month run.
