SoHo 20 Gallery is a diptych painting by American artist Sylvia Sleigh containing portraits of the collective members of the New York art gallery SoHo 20 Gallery . It is oil on canvas with each panel measuring 72" X 96". [1] Sleigh also created a group portrait of the A.I.R. Gallery members. [2] The Brooklyn Rail stated that the paintings could be "read today like detailed history paintings that record the birth of the Feminist Art Movement". [3]

In 2019 the SoHo 20 Gallery group portrait was included in the exhibition "Women Defining Themselves, Original artist of the SOHO20" at the Rowan University Art Gallery in Glassboro, New Jersey. [4]
