What we’re about
This group is for art enthusiasts looking to join others for guided art gallery walks in Chelsea, TriBeCa and the Upper East Side. I do significant research before setting up these events. These are usually 2-hour guided walks. I will set up some in English and some in Spanish. These events will usually be $25 per person. However, I will sometimes offer free tours because I've already done all of my work for paid tours.
I founded Look@NYArt in 2017 educate and engage audiences on Modern and Contemporary in NYC. I have over 20 years of experience in public speaking, and currently oversees Group Experiences and a team of six Museum Guides at the Museum of the City of New York. During the COVID lockdown in 2020-21, I delivered a series of highly-acclaimed photography lectures at no cost, many of which have received thousands of views and praise across the globe at Mira Con Efren: Look at Art Photography with Efren.
“Efren Olivares is a highly knowledgable art historian. His passion and knowledge shines and his lectures and walks are informative and engaging. I would highly recommend attending his tours and salons.”

“In a short time I learned a lot about contemporary art from Efren, someone who really knows this area. I had some fun in the process. I expect to return to other events to learn more.”
