Like the Spice was established in June of 2006, with a focus on the encouragement of emerging contemporary artists. For the past four years, the gallery has hosted over 35 solo and group exhibitions in our space at 224 Roebling Street, between S 2nd and S 3rd, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. While pushing our limits to find new and exciting artists and innovative directions, we have also hosted special projects and installations, taking our artists to such venues such as the 92Y Tribeca, Chelsea Art Museum, The Roger Smith Hotel, Scope Art Fair, The Affordable Art Fair and several private collector functions. Like the Spice has worked to promote our artists not only in our New York location, but also by reaching out nationally and internationally to galleries in cities worldwide.

As the owner/director/curator, Marisa Sage of Like the Spice promotes art that carries both meaning and beauty, encouraging artists to push their limits and find new directions in their work. An openness to sometimes challenging work has brought work that is resonating, not just hanging to our gallery walls.. From pencil and oil to sculpture and video; our paintings are fresh and our digital art is not just about the pixels. Additionally, Like the Spice promotes total collector immersion in each artist’s career and work. To do this we have created innovative ways to include each collector in the activities of the gallery, by using monthly artist dinners, quarterly studio tours, invitation-only events and even collector- specific functions. Like the Spice is devoted to working with emerging and established collectors, from their first piece to their 500th piece.
