Leila Heller Gallery promotes a cutting edge program of international contemporary emerging and mid-career artists. The gallery has gained worldwide recognition for being a pioneer in promoting contemporary artists from the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and Turkey. In addition to its roster of contemporary artists, the gallery is also active in the American, European and Middle Eastern secondary art markets.

In 2010, after nearly 30 years operating on the Upper East Side, Leila Heller Gallery moved to West 25th Street in the heart of Chelsea's gallery district. In 2014, Leila Heller Gallery expanded to a second location in New York City at 43 West 57th Street, a six-floor gallery space totaling 18,000 square feet, which is amongst the largest in New York.

Leila Heller Gallery 57th Street is unique: a versatile multi-level space with over 10,000 square feet of conventional exhibition space, a 60-seat theater/auditorium, a library to house the gallery's extensive art book collection and a 3,250 square foot project space for the purpose of showcasing exhibitions by emerging artists and curators. The exhibition program focuses on historical material, including solo exhibitions and survey shows focusing on broader art movements and themes.

The new gallery complements the West 25th Street location in Chelsea, which remains dedicated to fostering the careers of emerging and mid-career artists as well as curated shows. At Leila Heller Gallery 57th Street, an expanded program of artists is presented in a deeper art historical context via curated exhibitions mounted alongside concurrent exhibitions of well-established Modern and Contemporary artists.

The gallery presents a dynamic exhibition schedule, actively engages world-renowned curators, hosts educational panels and movie screenings, and produces catalogues and books with scholarly essays. The gallery participates in major international art fairs each year and stages off-site projects as a extension of the program. Gallery artists have consistently participated in major international exhibitions and biennials, and are included in important institutional collections worldwide.
