Behind the Scene(s): Red Hook Art Tours
Saturday, September 24, 2011, 1:30 - 4:30 pm
Join me this fall for a tour of Red Hook galleries, art spaces and studios, maybe a drink, and a dose of Red Hook's past and present. Each tour promises to be unique. Red Hook is special for its New York Harbor views and breezes, and the tours promise behind the scenes glimpses into the community's thriving arts scene.
We visited: John Ahearn & Rigoberto Torres works, Dawson & Kelly Streets, Michael Kelly Williams mosaics, Intervale 2 & 5 station, Vito Acconci & Helene Brandt installations, 161st Street station, Bronx County Courthouse, Bronx Museum of the Arts, and 1150 Grand Concourse, the "Fish Building".
Red Hook Art Tour
Saturday, April 30th
1:30 - 4:30 PM
Red Hook is a neighborhood that has rebounded after having Life magazine deem it one of the worst neighborhoods in the United States and as the crack capital of America in the early 1990's. It is now a mix of artists, working class families and individuals, restaurants, bars, shops and some long-standing and more recently opened galleries. Street art is here too. Come with me on Saturday, April 30th to explore that neighborhood that the big box store is in - the one you can't get to by subway alone.
We visited Kidd Yellin, Work, Red Hook Initiative, and Kentler International Drawing Space.
Long Island City Art Spaces Tour
Sunday, November 14
1:30 - 4:30 PM
Long known as home to factories and bakeries (Tom Cat bakery lends a heavenly smell that wafts throughout the area), Long Island City, just over the East River from Midtown Manhattan, now hosts a thriving arts community including several thought provoking art spaces and fresh public art. The pioneering PS1 (now MoMA PS1), as well as its equally engaging neighbor, the 5pointz building, call Long Island City home, as well as other, less trafficked spaces that are equally worth the visit.
We visited MoMA PS1, Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Projects, 5Pointz, SculptureCenter, Flux Factory.
Lower East Side Gallery/Art Space Tour
Saturday, June 5, 2010

New York City past and present coexist like no other neighborhood as in the Lower East Side.

Bushwick Art Spaces Tour,
Saturday April 24, 2010
2:00 - 4:00 PM
An introduction to Bushwick, Brooklyn galleries and art spaces. With a diversity of artists and art spaces that dot the landscape of this working class, industrial neighborhood, Bushwick is at once low-fi and dynamic.
The right tour to discover new artists, and galleries with a fresh approach to presenting their work.
We visited SUGAR, Storefront, English Kills, Laundromat (flat files), Eastern District, and the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House.
