New York – Tuesday, September 16, 2014
New York City is the capital of the art world, but if you aren’t an artist or an art collector, the idea of leaving your comfort zone and going out to see some art might seem a bit overwhelming. If you are a resident, or are planning a trip to the big apple, you might have a hard time navigating the couple hundred museums and over 1500 art galleries all within a few subway stops of your hotel (or apartment).

Don’t want to break the bank? The Smithsonian’s once a year “Free Museum Day” is Saturday, September 27th (that’s just two days after my show opens in the Lower East Side) Select partner museums around the country are free that day with the admit two coupon you can download and print from the web. You now have zero excuse to not go out and absorb some culture!
