Thursday evenings in New York are historically the best time to check out art openings throughout the city. While Chelsea is littered with enough shows to make gallery hopping easy, openings occur up and downtown, all between the precious hours of 6 to 9pm.
Summer time means GROUP SHOWS! GROUP SHOWS! and last night was no different. You may have missed out on the free drinks, but it’s not too late to check out the artwork.
