Founded in 1983, as a program of the New York Feminist Art Institute, Ceres is a not-for-profit artist run organization dedicated to the promotion of contemporary women in the arts. The gallery exhibits a broad spectrum of high quality work each year within a community of women artists that includes national and international members.
Ceres serves as a supportive base for a diversity of artistic and political views. We have become a venue for female and male writers, musicians, dancers and storytellers to perform and take risks. We believe that the arts provide an important social service with their power to enhance and enrich the quality and depth of our lives. - Stefany Benson, director

Gallery I
In this, her 11th solo exhibition, Phyllis Rosser continuesher investigation into the visual play of natural forms and images with an installation of branches, tree limbs and grasses. Also on view are her powerful wall-mounted constructions of found wood, twisted and knotted, stripped of its bark and washed smooth by the waters of the Connecticut River in Vermont. The resulting exhibition of dynamic forms invites prolonged contemplation by the viewer.
