Court Tree Collective is an art gallery committed to pushing boundaries in close collaboration with the artists it represents. Its program is rooted in original, thought-provoking work that resists easy categorization, rejecting the confines of traditional labels in favor of a distinct energy and point of view. More than a conventional gallery, it operates as a living, evolving space driven by instinct
and a shared creative momentum that challenges the norms of the art world.

Founded and run independently by Stephen Lipuma and Amy Ng, Court Tree Collective exists outside the influence of corporate structures and the often exclusionary traditions of the industry. Sustained through alternative means and guided by an artist-first ethos, the gallery reflects the lived experience of its founders, who continue to embrace risk as an essential part of their practice. Drawing from counterculture, heritage, pop, skateboarding, music, and everyday life, the gallery cultivates a hybrid sensibility, where outsider perspectives and formal training intersect to create something immediate, raw, and resonant.︎
