The Box

A revolutionary intersection of art and medicine. Created by Ryan alongside Go Doc Go founder Maggie Carpenter, MD, The Box is a free-standing privacy booth where women can privately self-screen for HPV — no doctor's office, no barriers. Art that puts healthcare in your own hands.

What started as a single painting for an injured cyclist became a nationwide public safety campaign. Bold, graphic imagery promoting dialogue among cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians — rooted in community partnerships and built to grow. We're looking for partners to take this across the country and around the world.

WE ARE PUBLIC HEALTH

Art in service of public health — echoing the WPA tradition of artists creating work for the public good. What began as a partnership with Ulster County Department of Health is built to scale. Bold imagery, clear messaging, designed to reach people where they are. We're looking for partners to take this nationwide.

Art4Lax

Art and sport come from the same place — discipline, practice, creativity, play. Art4Lax brings them together in West Africa. Rooted in the relationship Ryan formed during his 2019 Josef and Anni Albers Foundation Thread Artist Residency in Senegal, we're supporting the development of lacrosse on the continent — built from within, by the communities themselves. We show up, we support, and we keep going back.

Past Projects

Over the past ten years of running the gallery, we've learned something about ourselves: we love being project-based. Ryan is a traditional artist — he makes the work, we sell the work, and that's how we keep going. But somewhere along the way, we realized that aligning with the right people, showing up for big ideas, and collaborating with change-makers is what lights us up. It's how we want to move through the world. Here's some of what we've done.

LET'S BUILD A SKATEPARK!

The painting - Me, We, Us- is a bold and colorful interpretation of author, and activist, Shelly Tygielski's message that self-care and healing make way for collective action and social change. ⁠

preserving cultural landmarks

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock Music Festival, Ryan designed a custom wrap for a Moke, a street-legal, electric leisure car that was raffled off, with 100% of the funds raised will be donated to the foundation to preserve and interpret the historic site and enable museum, education and creative learning programs.

We are inspired by change makers and by people and organizations who uplift others. All of the work that Le Korsa does in Senegal focuses on investing in and empowering the people within their communities, both young and old.

Hudson Valley GIves

If you find yourself on Main Street in New Paltz, look up when passing by Schatzi Pub and Bier Garden and you will see a mural Cronin created during HV Gives to benefit TMI Project + Go Doc Go.

the truth will set us free

In support of TMI Project’s mission to help craft and amplify radically true stories to ignite human connection, challenge the status quo, and inspire both storytellers and listeners to take action for positive social change.

feeding frontline workers

In late April 2019, Ryan kicked off a worldwide campaign to honor essential workers across the globe by sharing his creation, “Love Can Fly” in partnership with Founders Give, an initiative that formed in response to COVID-19 to feed healthcare workers in hospitals in New York City.

Woodstock Farm Sanctuary

In 2018 Cronin, along with 19 other artists, created sculptures for the Woodstock Farm Sanctuary to raise funds and awareness for their work with rescue farm animals, raising over $10,000 that went directly to the sanctuary to care for the animals.

Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue

Cronin was commissioned by Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue to create a piece for the founder of Susie Seniors, Erin O'Sullivan and her partner Brandon Stanton (founder of Humans of New York)
