What we’re about
View and discuss some of the best art in NYC while meeting other art lovers!
About once or twice a month, we explore the art scene of a selected city neighborhood by visiting 5-8 galleries chosen from among many more previewed (in person) by the host. In addition, exclusive talks by artists, gallerists, dealers or other experts give us greater insight into the exhibits.
Places we go often include Chelsea, Tribeca, the Lower East Side, Soho, and the Upper East Side, with occasional forays into other parts of Manhattan or Brooklyn (Bushwick, for example).
Unlike art museums, galleries change the works on display frequently. This makes each tour a new experience, even if we have been to an area many times before.

Join us as we return to Chelsea, New York's premiere art district!
In the days before this event, the host will visit a large number of shows in person, choosing five to eight in a variety of media, based on what one might call "the WOW factor". Then on the tour itself, we will view and discuss these exhibits, while also enjoying an exclusive presentation by a gallerist or artist at most stops.
===================================================
IMPORTANT:
- After paying online, please check your credit / debit card account to make sure the transaction went through.
- RSVP on Meetup is optional and does NOT reserve your spot or lock in the price. Please use the blue Ticketleap or Paypal link above.
- Emergency contact for "day of" is (917) 680-0656 if you are late or lost. The voicemail greeting will list our first one or two stops. For all other info, send an "old-fashioned" text directly to my number. Do NOT attempt to reach me via email, Meetup, Ticketleap or any other Internet-based channel, as those methods are not reliable on my phone.
- If you have bought a ticket but cannot attend, you have two options. To get a credit toward a future art tour or walk, notify me via direct (not Internet-based) text, voice call, or voicemail. This must be done BEFORE the listed start time so that the group does not get stuck waiting for you. Alternatively, you can send someone in your place; at check-in, simply have him or her mention the name under which you paid.
- Sorry, no refunds unless the event is cancelled or rescheduled.
- Please remember to bring a mask, proof of COVID vaccination, and photo ID, as these may still be required by some galleries.
- The tour will last two to three hours. Afterward, we may go somewhere nearby for drinks, food and socializing if there is interest.
- Art novices are welcome, as are people with extensive art backgrounds.
- This event was created specifically for members of my Meetup groups and private email lists, their guests, and special invitees.
- Please note that the total RSVP count includes people coming from other Meetup and non-Meetup groups. It is manually updated every 12 - 48 hours and is NOT an arbitrary number. However, also remember that "no-shows" can never be accurately predicted.
See you there!
