In the heart of New York City, where creativity knows no bounds, there exists a place that not only showcases artistic masterpieces but also embodies the spirit of compassion and community. This place is none other than Galleria on Third, a framing shop that has been a cornerstone of the city’s art scene for over two decades. At the helm of this remarkable establishment stands Shadin Hossain, a man whose journey from Bangladesh to the bustling streets of New York City is a testament to the American dream. Today, we delve into the captivating story of Shadin Hossain and the Galleria on Third, a story that intertwines art, charity, and the indomitable spirit of the city he loves.

Over 25 years ago, a young Shadin Hossain arrived in the United States from Bangladesh with dreams in his eyes and determination in his heart. Art had always been a passion for him in his homeland, but the hustle and bustle of New York City left him with little time to pursue his craft. However, his love for art would ultimately play a pivotal role in his journey to success.

Shadin began his career in the framing industry, where he quickly distinguished himself through his commitment to quality work and exceptional customer service. His dedication paid off, and he soon became the owner of Galleria on Third, a framing shop that would become one of the most respected in the city.

At Galleria on Third, Shadin Hossain’s ethos is clear—putting people first and delivering the highest quality at reasonable prices. This commitment has earned him an impressive array of positive Google reviews, a testament to the trust and respect he has garnered from his customers over the years.

But Shadin’s journey is about more than just business success. It is about giving back to the community that has embraced him—a community that is synonymous with resilience, New York City. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Shadin used his art as a force for good, launching the “New York Tough” campaign to aid those in need. It is this unwavering spirit of generosity that defines him.

Galleria on Third is not just a framing shop; it is a hub of artistic expression and philanthropy. Shadin Hossain initiated the Galleria on Third Benefit Art Shows over a decade ago, with a mission to raise money and awareness for various charitable causes. These shows have supported organizations like World Vision, Smile Train, Bellevue Hospital, and the Clean Water Initiative, among others.

Shadin’s dedication to these charitable endeavors has not gone unnoticed. He was named NY1’s NYer of the Week and featured in the New York Daily News for his selfless contributions to the city. Through his art and the art, he showcases in his gallery, Shadin has made a profound impact on the lives of many, exemplifying the power of art to inspire positive change.

As a sign of the time, after 20 years as a staple of Murray Hill, Galleria on Third, is moving a few blocks north to 48 and 2nd Avenue; and is excited to be a proud a member of the Turtle Bay community.

Galleria on Third is not only a platform for renowned artists but also a nurturing ground for emerging talent. The gallery has featured the works of up-and-coming artists, and it has proudly displayed pieces by celebrated artists such as Romero Brito, DeLaVega, Marc Tetro, and fashion icon Carson Kressley, as well as news personality Sandy Kenyon.

After years of advising and framing other artists’ works, Shadin has returned to his own artistic roots. He has developed a unique process that transforms fine art prints into stunning three-dimensional designs, captivating patrons with their sophistication and depth. His mixed-media pieces are a visual feast, filled with whimsy and creativity, reflecting his sense of charity and generosity.

In his own words, Shadin Hossain said, “I don’t know what I can give this city, but I’ll do my best.” It is clear that he has given the city more than he could have ever imagined—art, inspiration, and the unwavering belief in the power of community and compassion.

As Galleria on Third prepares to move to a new location after 20 years, the legacy of Shadin Hossain and his dedication to art, charity, and the city of New York will continue to shine brightly. To continue its legacy of 1999 (the year of foundation), the owner will host a super sale where people can get frames at an unthinkable price. It remarkably reflects that even in 2023 people can get the pricing available in 1999 which is only possible by Galleria On Third. In a world often characterized by its hustle and bustle, Shadin’s story serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful masterpieces are those created with a generous heart.
