Since 1997
From a garden shed in Williamsburg to Newburgh
Paulien Lethen opened Holland Tunnel in 1997 in a Home Depot garden shed in her Williamsburg backyard. It grew into a Brooklyn institution, a summer gallery on the Greek island of Paros, and since 2018, a home in an 1860 warehouse in Newburgh's Historic District.
Today, as Holland Tunnel Revisited, it runs a full program of shows, concerts and films, open every weekend.

Paulien Lethen, artist and founder-director. Featured in Yara Hannema's documentary Requiem for Williamsburg.
“One of the quirkiest spaces in Williamsburg … a front-runner for first place as the tiniest gallery in the metropolitan area.”
