All-New TriBeCa Art Gallery Walk
Join members of the Columbia Club of New York on Saturday, November 21st for a highly engaging art gallery walk of best shows in TriBeCa. Organized as part of a broader art program for our club by CUCNY member Christine Keeley, NYC Photographer and owner of @christinekeeleystudios, you will be led on an expertly planned, 2-hour art gallery walk of up to 8 galleries by founder of Look@NYArt, Efren Olivares.
This walk includes new solo shows by international artists, including painting, sculpture, photography, and more as available. TriBeCa is the fastest-growing gallery district in New York City, with many Los Angeles, Upper East Side and Chelsea galleries moving to this part of the city in the last 5 years. Housed in former TriBeCa factories and industrial spaces, these large-scale loft-style galleries represent and show both established and mid-career artists.
This walk involves the least number of steps as there are plenty of galleries within a 3-block radius.
