NY Artists Tour: From Graffiti to Galleries

NY Artists Tour: From Graffiti to Galleries
Witness neighborhood transformations in the classy galleries of Chelsea, the boutiques and tenements of the Lower East Side, industrial-chic Meatpacking District, hip and young Williamsburg and gritty exciting Bushwick in Brooklyn and Long Island City in Queens. These were run-down industrial areas (with that ever-important feature: cheap and plentiful real estate!) that acted as magnets, attracting new residents who transformed empty buildings into pulsing communities of art and design.

Gaze up at sky-high graffiti murals while learning about street art's crucial and controversial role in NYC's history. Tour artistic lofts, exciting rooftops, graffiti-bombed buildings, creative collectives, wild party spaces and independent art galleries. Visit some of New York's exclusive schools, including Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts. We can also check out some of Brooklyn & Queens' fresh art collectives, including Rubulad and Flux Factory.

Tour length is dependent upon number of neighborhoods & galleries we visit. Give Mark a call!
