About Us
Welcome! Joseph Nease Gallery is a contemporary art gallery opened in 1998 in Kansas City, MO, relocated to Duluth, MN from 2017 to 2024, and now operating as a private dealer in Leawood, KS. We feature artists working in various media including drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, and digital media. Our artists are regional, national and sometimes international.
In our two physical galleries, Kansas City and Duluth, through solo and group exhibitions, we showcased the work and seeked to advance the careers of mid- and advanced- career artists and select emerging artists. As a private dealer relocated back to Kansas City area, we will continue our efforts to showcase the work, advance the careers of, and get these artists work into collections.
We appreciate the support and confidence of our collectors and that of the Tweed Museum of Art in Duluth who has added multiple works by gallery artists to its collection. Gallery artists are included in the collections of numerous significant institutions including The Alberta Art Foundation, Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art, Canada Council Collection, Daum Museum of Art, Des Moines Art Center, General Services Administration, Grand Rapids Art Museum, University of Iowa Museum of Art, Jersey City Museum, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, John Michael Kohler Art Center, Malmö Art Museum (Sweden), Minneapolis Institute of Art, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Portland Art Museum, Sprint Corporation, Thoma Art Foundation, Turku Art Museum (Finland), Tweed Museum of Art, Weisman Foundation, and the Wichita Art Museum. Our gallery artists have also been the recipients of several prestigious awards and grants including the Charlotte Street Fund award, Jerome Hill Foundation artist residency, Esther and Adolph Gottlieb Fountation grant, McKnight Composer Fellowship, McKnight Foundation residency, Mellon Foundation grant, Joan Mitchell Foundation grant, Pollock Krasner Foundation grant, Roswell Artist-in-Residence, Tulsa Artist Fellowship, and American-Scandinavian Foundation fellowship award. Essays and reviews of gallery and artist exhibitions have appeared in numerous publications and magazines including Art-in-America magazine, Art Papers, KC Studio magazine, and in significant published essays.
