GABRIELLE RICHARDSON

Gabrielle Richardson is a New York–based model, curator, and cultural creator working at the intersection of high fashion, art, and community. With a strong presence in luxury, beauty, and fashion editorials, she brings a refined, visionary perspective from fashion into the art world.

As the founder of Ward Gallery NYC, Gabrielle created an intentional platform dedicated to amplifying Brown, Black, and LGBTQ+ artists. Named in honor of her late mother, the gallery champions emerging and underrepresented voices through thoughtful exhibitions and community-driven programming.

Beyond the gallery, Gabrielle has led impactful initiatives including the Brown Girl Butterfly Project, supporting healing and empowerment for Black and brown femmes, and her early work with the Art Hoe Collective, a formative space for queer artists of color. Her work reflects a singular blend of fashion credibility, curatorial vision, and a deep commitment to inclusive cultural storytelling.
