Join us on Saturday April 19th for an art-full afternoon exploring the best of NYC’s contemporary art, architecture and public art scene during this art walk of Hudson Yards and Chelsea.

Next, we'll head toward Chelsea, where you'll explore the renowned gallery district, home to an array of cutting-edge contemporary art spaces. You'll experience some of the most dynamic new exhibits, with a focus on female artists and gallerists. You'll have the opportunity to engage with the art, learn about the artists' inspirations, and gain insights into the ever-evolving contemporary art scene.

Finally, our tour will end in the Meatpacking District, home to the famous Chelsea Market, where we'll stop for some snacks. This historic neighborhood, once a hub of meatpacking and processing, now boasts a vibrant food and design scene.

The tour is a great opportunity to experience the past, present and future of art in NYC. Even lifelong New Yorkers are sure to discover and learn something new! No art background or knowledge is necessary - only an interest to learn.

Some things you will learn/ take away:
