Please join us on Thursday, July 28, 2011 from 5 to 8 p.m. for the second annual Chelsea Art Walk, a cooperative event organized by the neighborhood’s galleries and art institutions. Last year the free, self-guided, public event attracted hundreds of residents and visitors to explore the dynamic arts community offered by internationally acclaimed galleries. Chelsea Art Walk generated buzz and traffic to Chelsea on an otherwise quiet summer evening.
More than 125 galleries and institutions participating in Chelsea Art Walk 2011 will be open for extended hours, artist talks, live
performances, and other special events to showcase the vibrancy of the summer arts scene in Chelsea. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the newly opened second section of the High Line, which extends through Chelsea from 14th Street to 30th Street. A venue map will be provided by the M Chelsea art map, published by the M magazine, online at intheArtworld.com. The Exhibitionist iPhone/iPad app, available for free download through iTunes, will map out participating locations, display photos of the exhibitions, and highlight special events.
404 will host an after-party and provide complimentary hors d’oeuvres for galleries and their guests beginning at 8 p.m., 404 Tenth
Avenue at 33rd Street. Members of the press are cordially invited. Kindly RSVP to Elizabeth Denny at edenny@hastedkraeutler.com. Lead media sponsorship for the Chelsea Art Walk 2011 is provided by The New York Observer.
