The exhibition is titled “The Journey,” curated by Adrienne Connelly, and runs March 19–April 16, 2026 at Salomon Arts Gallery, 83 Leonard Street, New York. (salomonarts.com). Gallery hours are listed as Tuesday–Saturday, 3:00–6:00 p.m., with viewings also available by appointment; the gallery lists contact details and a viewing-by-appointment policy for 83 Leonard Street.

Chuck Connelly (born January 7, 1955) died April 13, 2025; his career is commonly recalled in the press for its 1980s prominence in New York, a Martin Scorsese-linked profile in New York Stories, and later documentary films including the Emmy-recognized The Art of Failure.

Press and gallery previews ran across multiple outlets between March 18 and March 25, 2026 — including the exhibition press release on March 18 and feature coverage and reviews on March 25 — amplifying the Salomon Arts presentation this week.
