What part of town doesn’t want to be ‘the next Williamsburg?’ This Brooklyn outpost of art and culture symbolizes how more artists than ever before are pushing beyond the boundaries of Manhattan’s island geography to find space to live, work and create. It also proves that such a move can be successful in attracting the young talent that start galleries and the patrons whose support keeps them in business. |

Though it’s been known as a place to spot emerging talent, the Williamsburg art scene has only now come of age. Ironically, it took the recent departure for Chelsea of a few successful galleries to prove the neighborhood’s viability as an incubator for artists as well as galleries. While the majority of the established galleries remain in place, experimentation is still the lingua franca of Williamsburg. |

Williamsburg is at its best on the weekend. Many galleries operate on a Friday-Monday schedule and in good weather the neighborhood comes alive. Comfortable walking shoes are a must on the Williamsburg Tour, as galleries are loosely clustered within several blocks of Williamsburg’s center. |
