TEAM TWG

Tanya Weddemire is the Founder and CEO of Tanya Weddemire Gallery (TWG), an independent, Black woman–led gallery based in Industry City, Brooklyn. With over 25 years of experience in the luxury and creative industries, Tanya brings a sharp eye, deep relationship-building skills, and a collector-focused approach to the art world. Her gallery is known for championing artists whose practices explore identity, heritage, realism, and contemporary narratives, placing their work into meaningful private, corporate, and institutional collections. Tanya’s leadership is rooted in cultural caretaking: creating access to spaces historically closed to Black artists and Black-led galleries while building sustainable careers through intentional exhibitions, strategic art fair participation, and long-term collector relationships.

Under her direction, Tanya Weddemire Gallery has presented at major fairs including SCOPE Miami, EXPO Chicago, Hamptons Fine Art Fair, Art on Paper NYC, Atlanta Art Fair, Affordable Art Fair New York and Boston, and Scottsdale Art Week, among others.

Tanya and the gallery have been featured in Forbes, Vanity Fair, BK Reader, PIX11 News, The Brooklyn Paper, and Industry City, highlighting her role in shaping Brooklyn’s contemporary art landscape and expanding visibility for emerging and mid-career artists.

Beyond exhibitions, Tanya is deeply committed to philanthropy and community impact, supporting initiatives in Jamaica and across the United States, mentoring emerging creatives, and producing programs that connect art with healing, education, and economic opportunity.

At her core, Tanya Weddemire is a builder of ecosystems someone who understands that success is a marathon, access is earned, and legacy is created by lifting others while standing firmly in purpose.
