A: Is for an Abundance of Art!

As Memorial Day ends New York City's art scene begins. For those of you who have never been apart of this, you can tour openings nightly. The biggest nights are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, in that order. This Thursday will feel like a giant block party with all ages participating, If you do not like crowds this is not for you. I am enclosing the list for this weeks goings on in Chelsea. If you notice they are intense. It is next to impossible to make all the openings but it is great fun trying. This is more of a social event than an appreciation of art. Art in NY is an experience and it is about the people who inhabit this land as much as it is the work.
