Originally founded as Civilian Warfare Studio in Dean Savard's storefront live/work painting studio at 526 East 11th Street, between Avenues A and B in the East Village, casual salons held with friends eventually led to the formation of a formal art gallery. After initial success in the small storefront, the gallery moved to a larger space on Avenue B at 10th Street across from Tompkins Square Park. A move to an even larger third location on 9th Street between Avenues B and C followed.
