featuring photographers from: Argentina, Guatemala, Africa, China, Germany, and among others.
Martha Schneider was born and raised in Entre Rios, Argentina, 1941. She attended Universidad de Buenos Aires, School of Liberal Arts where she majored in Journalism and minored in Art History.

Several years later, Martha moved the Gallery to the River North Gallery District and shifted her focus to contemporary photography, specializing in Latin American photography. Schneider Gallery soon became one of the United States’ top photography galleries, and showcased international and national artists for over 30 years before closing in 2019.
Martha is currently operating from home as an art consultant, and continues to actively participate in the art scene as a juror, curator, lecturer, advisor, and portfolio reviewer.
