Black Floor Gallery, located at 319 N. 11th St. Philadelphia [1], PA. was founded in February, 2005 by Elsa Shadely, Nick Paparone, Jamie Dillon, Carrie Collins, Gerik Forston, and Annette Monnier. Black Floor, as it is commonly called, is an alternative venue for the arts, dedicated to expanding the dialogue of artistic practices by showing under-represented artists, music groups, video shows and happenings.

The Gallery is not a not-for-profit, nor is it a "commercial" gallery, one that runs on the capital from sales. Black Floor is run solely on the private funds of its founders.

Black Floor is often associated with other members of Philadelphia's independent art scene including Space 1026 [2], Vox Populi, The Fabric Workshop and Museum and the now defunct South Philadelphia Athenaeum [3]. Black Floor has often attributed Publico Gallery, a similar space in Cincinnati, Ohio [4], as being the inspiration for its own practice
