Good Weather

Good Weather is a contemporary art gallery from North Little Rock, Arkansas with current locations in Chicago, Illinois and Little Rock, Arkansas. The gallery is recognized for a deeply collaborative and rigorous program that focuses on the contextualization and advancement of artists’ practices within a broader art discourse. Haynes Riley founded the gallery in 2011 through an innate familial approach and from a desire to seed contemporary art discourse in Arkansas. Following thirty-eight solo shows and a dozen offsite and hosted exhibitions, the gallery’s original location—housed within a one-car suburban garage in the Lakewood neighborhood of North Little Rock—transformed in December 2017 into a long-term and perpetually changing fresco that hosts intermittent curatorial programming specific to the work. Between 2018–2019, Good Weather undertook an itinerant program: curating exhibitions that were hosted by colleagues and organized through various invitations, collaborations, and self-initiated projects. Good Weather started participating in art fairs in 2016, and since 2019, has presented exhibitions and focused programming operating primarily as a commercial gallery with locations in Chicago, Illinois (1524 S. Western Ave.), Little Rock, Arkansas (420 Byrd St.), and in various offsite locations.
