Bernice Steinbaum is an American gallerist and curator who founded the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery in New York City in 1977. She has shown under-represented work ranging from women artists, feminist artists, civil-rights artists and artists of color.[1] Inspired by the lack of changing curriculum in the 1960s Steinbaum went on to receive her PhD in Art Education from Columbia University and established galleries for women and people of color.[2][3]
