NEW YORK GALLERIES:
ARTISTS AND INSPIRATION
Witness neighborhood transformations that happen before your eyes in the gallery worlds of Chelsea, the Lower East Side, or Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These were run-down industrial zones that received the fresh energy of talented new residents who transformed empty buildings into international communities of art and design. Understand gentrification, the difficult pushing out of the original working and pioneering artist class for corporations and condominiums.
Gaze up at sky-high graffiti murals while learning about street art's crucial and controversial role in NYC's history. Peek into artistic lofts and fashionable boutiques, normally seen only in movies. Visit some of New York's exclusive artisan schools and admire the year-round Graduate Shows at any of the following: Parsons School of Design, Fashion Institute of Technology, and the School of Visual Arts.
