Program
Matthew Swift Gallery shows beautiful and intelligent contemporary art at national fairs and in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Visitors will enjoy a curated exhibition and may browse hundreds of available works of art hand-picked by the Director on a large screen. Works not on view in the gallery may be viewed in person by appointment at a private showroom nearby. The Director guides visitors personally through the processes of discovery, evaluation, and selection of art. Matthew Swift Gallery represents primarily living artists residing in eastern Massachusetts, allowing the Director to follow artists’ practices closely for many years, continually deepening his knowledge and discernment of the art he selects. The gallery also represents three significant estates and several artists residing outside the region.History
Matthew Swift founded Trident Gallery in 2013. After six years, fifty exhibitions, and twenty-five live art performances, he retired the Trident name and has continued as Matthew Swift Gallery.
