our history
Alex, Greg and Stephen graduate from the University of Arizona.
After winning two major North American business plan competitions, the
boys decide to pool their competition winnings and every last dime in their bank accounts to launch Ugallery. Website construction begins.
The Wall Street Journal features Ugallery in an article. The gallery is mentioned in the Journal again in October.
Ugallery exhibits at the Affordable Art Fair New York City, the beginning of a beautiful partnership. Ugallery now exhibits at the fair every year.
Ugallery opens its doors to all emerging artists and launches a new version of the website, featuring a new logo to reflect the gallery's growth.
Ugallery artwork decorates the set of the movie It's Complicated, starring Meryl Streep. Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin, and the new Hotel Palomar Philadelphia uses Ugallery artwork to furnish its lobby.

our team
ALEX FARKAS gallery director
Alex brings a unique and slightly off-center aesthetic to the gallery. His love of art traces back to his hometown Jerome, a tiny arts community in northern Arizona. Alex grew up creating sculpture in his uncle's woodworking studio and learning about the art business in his mother's gallery. In college, he trained his eye by travelling the world to experience first-hand the art he studied. Alex is passionate about working with artists to navigate the gallery world and connect with patrons. He holds degrees in Art History and Entrepreneurship from the University of Arizona, and currently lives in San Francisco.
STEPHEN TANENBAUM operations director
Stephen has a passion for the art of the start up. He founded his first company, Bunkpal, at the age of 18 and pursued his love of business at the University of Arizona, where he earned a degree in Finance and Entrepreneurship. Stephen keeps Ugallery on the cutting edge by overseeing the gallery's online presence and running business behind the scenes. Originally from Atlanta, Stephen now lives in New York City. When he's not working, you might spot him strolling MoMA - he's got a soft spot for Takashi Murakami - or playing softball in Central Park.
GREG ROSBOROUGH creative director
Greg was born in lowa City, but grew up on the sun-drenched basketball courts of Tucson, Arizona (he's 6'5"!). After earning a degree in Marketing and Entrepreneurship at the University of Arizona and launching Ugallery, Greg moved to New York to study Menswear Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. He now works as both a designer at Ralph Lauren in New York City and as the Creative Director at Ugallery, driving the site's simple, crisp aesthetic.
BAILEY RICHARDSON assistant gallery director
Bailey was born and raised in Los Gatos, in the heart of the Silicon Valley. While studying and playing field hockey at Stanford University, she fell in love with art history. Her favourite art memory is visiting the private home of prolific Bay Area modern art collectors Harry and Mary Margaret Anderson, where there is so much art that Frank Stella sketches adorn the refrigerator and Jackson Pollocks hang in the kid's bedrooms. After graduating, Bailey moved to San Francisco and worked for the SFMOMA's Marketing Department. Now at Ugallery, Bailey gets to write about art all day which she calls "an absolute dream job."
ASKA STURDEVAN gallery administrator
Aska grew up in Southern California, where she was surrounded by creative and artistic friends and family. Unfortunately, none of these skills rubbed off on her--despite her best efforts--but she still has a great admiration and appreciation for art in its many forms (film and photography being favorites). After leaving the country for a couple years, she decided to make her way back to the Bay Area, where she went to school. Interests include traveling and doing most anything outside (as indicated by this photo of one of her favorite places: Dogon Country, Mali). Aska is thrilled to be part of such a dynamic company, and excited to be surrounded by art every single day!
