All-New Upper East Side Art Gallery Walk
Join members of the Columbia Club of New York on Saturday, December 5th for a highly engaging art gallery walk of best shows in the Upper East Side. 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. The Upper East Side continues to offer incredible gallery shows along Madison Avenue. In this neighborhood, we will visit stunning galleries including Lévy Gorvy Dayan and Acquavella, which are housed inside former mansions. The spaces alone are incredible to witness firsthand.
This walk involves more steps as the distance from the first galleries to the last can involve 15 blocks.
