About
Alexandria Gallery is a nonprofit contemporary art gallery based in the Cleveland area that presents museum-caliber works by established American and international artists across Contemporary, Naive, Folk, Abstract, Surrealist, and Pop art. The gallery maintains one of the most significant curated collections of Naive and museum-caliber Folk art in the United States, alongside a dynamic program of rotating exhibitions, artist presentations, and cultural events.
Founded by Irina Falberg as an artist-centered nonprofit pop-up initiative, the gallery began with a mission to create meaningful opportunities for artists and cultivate a welcoming environment for both new and established collectors. During the gallery’s early development, Falberg encountered an extraordinary collection of Naive art assembled over more than twenty-five years by Dan Chill, featuring artists from all continents. Recognizing the collection’s cultural and historical significance, the gallery expanded its vision to preserve and present these works within a broader contemporary program grounded in storytelling, emotional resonance, and international dialogue.
Today, Alexandria Gallery operates from Eton in Woodmere, Ohio, near destinations including the Apple Store and Barnes & Noble. The gallery presents exhibitions, artist talks, workshops, art classes, and community-centered programming while also offering advisory, installation, rental, and commissioning services for private and commercial clients.
Beyond its exhibition program, Alexandria Gallery develops educational and cultural initiatives that encourage wider engagement with the arts through collecting, learning, and community participation.
