Named one of the top 10 coolest neighborhoods in the world in 2021, Chelsea is one of NYC’s most vibrant and varied neighborhoods full of art, culture and history. With new developments such as Hudson Yards and the HIgh Line, Chelsea seems to represent and embody the future of NYC, while also being steeped in history and culture.
Tour includes:

• Street art stops along the way
Some things you will learn/ take away:
• The difference between blue-chip and emerging art galleries
• The top names in NYC’s gallery and street art scene

Whether you are a NYC local or visiting from out-of-town, this will be a great opportunity to experience the best of NYC’s contemporary art scene and (re)discover one of its most fascinating neighborhoods, all while meeting and mingling with fellow art-full New Yorkers along the way.
