Mrs. Gallery in Maspeth, Queens, is marking its 10th anniversary with DECENNIUM: Ten Years at Mrs., a rotating exhibition featuring 30 works by 23 artists. The gallery says it has presented 72 shows, worked with dozens of emerging artists and attended art fairs in the United States and abroad.
Mrs. Gallery, an art space in Maspeth, Queens, is marking 10 years in operation with DECENNIUM: Ten Years at Mrs., a rotating exhibition of 30 works by 23 artists. The anniversary comes as the gallery looks back on a decade in which it has held 72 shows and drawn collectors to a neighborhood not usually identified as a New York arts hub.
The exhibition brings together work by artists associated with the gallery over its first decade. The source describes it as rotating, rather than a static display, and says its format reflects the gallery’s evolving nature. The report identifies a sculpture by Carolyn Salas in an installation view, but does not provide a full list of artists or details about how often the works change.
Mrs. was founded by Sara Maria Salamone and Tyler Lafreniere, who found the gallery’s storefront space through Craigslist, according to the report. Over the ensuing decade, the gallery says it has worked with dozens of emerging artists, organized 72 shows and participated in art fairs in Paris, South Korea and elsewhere in the United States.
The gallery’s location is part of its story. Maspeth, near the Long Island Expressway, is not commonly thought of as an arts destination in the way that Bushwick or the East Village are. Yet the report describes visitors arriving from a range of places, including collectors and advisers making deliberate trips to the Queens storefront.
A Decade of Art in Maspeth
The anniversary highlights how a gallery outside New York’s better-known art districts can build a sustained program and attract buyers. Mrs.’s record of 72 exhibitions and participation in international art fairs point to activity beyond its immediate neighborhood, while the anniversary show puts artists connected to that program in one changing presentation.
For artists, a gallery’s ongoing exhibition program can provide opportunities to show work and reach collectors. For visitors, the show offers a way to encounter several artists in one trip to Western Queens. The source does not report sales figures or assess the gallery’s financial performance, so the anniversary is evidence of longevity and activity, not a measure of commercial impact.

From Craigslist to a Queens Gallery
The account traces the gallery’s beginnings to a storefront found online by co-founders Sara Maria Salamone and Tyler Lafreniere. That modest origin contrasts with the reach the gallery describes today: work with artists over 10 years, dozens of exhibitions and travel to art fairs in Paris and South Korea, as well as fairs across the country.
The neighborhood also shapes how the gallery describes its audience. Maspeth is not generally grouped with the city’s established gallery concentrations, but Associate Director Lily Frances Pendery told Hyperallergic that visitors who arrive are often focused on seeing art. The report presents the anniversary exhibition as a reflection of the gallery’s changing program, rather than a complete retrospective with a fixed selection.
““We’ve had people stop here on the way to the airport and end up buying something.””
— Lily Frances Pendery, associate director of Mrs. Gallery, speaking to Hyperallergic
Exhibition Details Still Limited
The source does not specify the exhibition’s exact opening and closing dates, its hours, admission policy or whether all 30 works will be displayed at once. It also does not identify all 23 artists or describe the schedule for rotating the works. No sales totals, attendance figures or independent assessment of the gallery’s reach are included, so claims about its audience and collector interest remain based on the gallery’s account.
The Anniversary Show Continues
DECENNIUM: Ten Years at Mrs. is the immediate next point of interest for visitors seeking to see work from the gallery’s first decade. Because the exhibition is described as rotating, its presentation may change over its run; the source does not give a schedule or confirm any events beyond the show. Readers should check with Mrs. Gallery for current exhibition dates, visiting information and the latest display details.
