'the galleries' diverse and adventurours programming make it woth a trip

Scaled down but sophisticated, Lower East Side galleries favor emerging and underappreciated artists.

 

Anchored by the New Museum for Contemporary Art on the Bowery, growing numbers of exhibition spaces have sprung up on the blocks around the museum since it relocated here in 2007.  Veteran downtown galleries and outside-the-box projects guarantee that tours include a lively mix of unconventional artwork and unique spaces.

 

On a standard, two-hour walking tour,
we visit eight to ten art galleries, sampling from the most important shows of the moment.  At each venue, Merrily gives information on the galleries themselves and the artwork on display – questions and conversation are encouraged!

With exhibitions changing every five to six weeks, there is always something new to see and each tour has its own dynamic.  Your itinerary will include a range of galleries selected to orient you to an energizing mix of artwork in different media by emerging talents and internationally acclaimed artists.
