Gallery Visits New York

All-New Fall Chelsea Art Gallery Walk

I hope you are having a wonderful Summer so far. Please join us for the first art gallery MeetUp walk of this Fall on 10/03/26 at 11 AM. Chelsea is about to have dozens of openings starting on September 10th. This walk includes new solo shows by international artists, including painting, sculpture, photography, and more as available. Join us as we explore a fantastic museum-quality show of sculptures and others works by Lynda Benglis, spanning five decades of her career. Benglis broke new ground in 1968 by pouring latex on the floor of her studio, essentially blurring the lines between painting and sculpture. At Lisson Gallery, we will explore Hiroshi Sugimoto's surprising large-scale photography of nature and wildlife. At Olney Gleason, you will love the 30 or so small mysterious pastels by Swedish-born London-based Sara Anstis.

Private Gallery Night: The Women Who Shaped American Art

​What if the story of American art were told through **the women who helped create it?** **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/TheWomenWhoShapedAmericanArt)** ​Join Women of Culture for a **private reception & walk-through at Lincoln Glenn Gallery** exploring ***[250 Years: American Women Artists and the Nation’s Story](https://www.lincolnglenn.com/exhibitions/48-250-years-american-women-artists-and-the-nation-s/overview/?utm_source=luma)*** — an exhibition that brings overlooked voices back into the spotlight and invites us to see American history from a different perspective. ​Spanning the Revolutionary era through today, the exhibition brings together work from **every decade of the nation’s history**, revealing generations of women who created, experimented, and built remarkable careers even when the art world offered them far fewer opportunities for recognition. ​We’ll travel through **250 years of creativity** — from intimate early portraits and sweeping landscapes to Impressionism, Modernism, abstraction, sculpture, and contemporary art — encountering both familiar names and fascinating artists whose stories deserve to be rediscovered. ​Among them are **Mary Cassatt, Sarah Miriam Peale, Ida Ten Eyck O’Keeffe, Mercedes Matter, Lee Bontecou, Harmony Hammond, Lynda Benglis, Teruko Yokoi**, and many more. ​Over the course of the evening, we’ll have the chance to slow down with the work, exchange perspectives, and connect with fellow culturally curious women in the intimate setting of the gallery. ​Come raise a glass to the women who created, challenged, experimented — and left their mark on American art, whether history remembered their names or not. ​**Event details:** ​**Date:** Thursday, October 22 **Time**: 6:00–8:00 PM **Location:** Lincoln Glenn Gallery Upper East Side [17 East 67th Street, Suite 1A](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lincoln+Glenn/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xdfaf0e87db2329b2?sa=X&ved=1t%3A2428&ictx=111&utm_source=luma) *** **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/TheWomenWhoShapedAmericanArt)** ​**Tickets:** * ​**Non-Members:** $10 First Release \| $15 Full Price * ​**Art-full Basic Members:** $5 First Release \| $10 Full Price * ​**Art-full Premier Members:** FREE ​Art-full premier members receive an additional 20% off. ​Learn more about the Art-full membership below/[here](https://womenofculture.org/artfull-membership-nyc?utm_source=luma). *** ​**The Art-Full Membership** ​If you are not yet an [Art-full member](https://womenofculture.org/artfull-membership-nyc?utm_source=luma), we would love to have you join us for as little as $45/month for the basic membership, or $65/month for the upgraded premier membership.

🎵 Music of the Velvet Underground played by solo guitarist 😎

⚡ **Live Music** **Tuesday, October 20** **Meet in front of venue @ 7:30 pm (show starts 8:00 pm)** **Where:** Giorno Poetry Systems (GPS), 222 Bowery, New York, NY Tickets are about **$17.00** (all fees included) 🎟️ Small venue with limited number of tickets available– Grab one now! ***\* IMPORTANT \**** 👉🏻 Your RSVP to this meetup is the first step. 🎟️ **Be sure to** **buy $$ your ticket online** through the venue here: https://www.giornopoetrysystems.org/222-bowery/events/roginski-velvet I already have my General Admission ticket. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *🍻 Maybe we’ll meet nearby for a drink/bite before the show, if anyone is interested. Details TBD for now.* **About this event** **🎸Artist:** Polish guitarist [Raphael Rogiński](https://www.google.com/goto?url=CAESZQHrOzAVf7wLfh96f8eDrg0OBqhaHtn0vDZ1NdY4ZA5Ucd_hitcddAWrYSSAGQFBQ4f_MKysUCh_cTprKFJTh1hCzxsfQixYFEQtJ_WVCjCSEAH6U9cfMLhrwEHPf03mHDCgugbK) will perform solo guitar arrangements of music by [The Velvet Underground](https://rockhall.com/inductees/velvet-underground/), the legendary rock band known for avant-garde experimentation, dark street poetry, and drone music.) This is the first time Raphael has performed this arrangement. He’s chosen NYC for the debut because it’s the physical and spiritual home of the Velvet Underground; and this space, nicknamed **"The Bunker,"** specifically because it has a deep connection to the musicians from the band. (Lou Reed himself spent many long nights sitting at the room’s dining table, alongside William Burroughs, Andy Warhol, and many others.) **🏘️ Setting:** "The Bunker" at 222 Bowery was famously the home of Beat Generation writer William S. Burroughs. **🌟The Vibe:** A historic, intimate, unique landmark space. NOT a sleek, modern concert hall. **🌟The Experience:** Today primarily an arts archive, community space, and gallery. When they do host concerts or readings, it feels more like being in a private studio than a standard music venue. **Read up on the cool** [history of the building](https://giornopoetrysystems.org/222-bowery/the-building)**.**

Bold, Strange & Beautiful: Gallery Breakfast + Tribeca Gallery Hop

Trade your typical Saturday for a morning of **bold contemporary art, fresh discoveries, and great company** as Women of Culture heads downtown for our **First Saturday [Art-full Discovery Walk](https://womenofculture.org/artwalks?utm_source=luma)**—this time exploring the art, history, and culture of **Tribeca**. **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/Tribecadiscoverywalk)** ​This two-part event begins with an intimate **gallery breakfast at [Asya Geisberg Gallery](https://www.asyageisberggallery.com/artists/rebecca-morgan?utm_source=luma)**, where **Rebecca Morgan** will join us for a personal walk-through of her new exhibition\*\*, *Painting in the Apocalypse*\*\*. ​Rooted in her Appalachian upbringing, Morgan’s work uses **folk traditions, meticulous technique, caricature, and biting humor** to complicate ideas of **femininity, rural identity, beauty, nostalgia, power, and representation**. Her women refuse to be polished or easily categorized: they can be glamorous and grotesque, vulnerable and defiant, familiar and deeply strange. ​Hearing directly from Morgan will offer a rare chance to explore the ideas, influences, and tensions behind the work—and to ask questions about a practice that is at once playful, unsettling, and sharply observant. ​From there, we’ll continue on a curated **[Art-full Discovery Walk](https://womenofculture.org/artwalks?utm_source=luma) through Tribeca**, visiting a selection of standout new exhibitions while getting an insider look at one of NYC’s most dynamic contemporary art districts. We'll visit 4-6 additional new gallery shows, meeting the gallerists and learning more about the artists behind each. ​Come for the breakfast, stay for the discoveries—or join us for the full experience and spend your Saturday seeing Tribeca through an **Art-full lens**. **Why You’ll Love This Experience** ​🥐 Begin with breakfast inside the gallery before the neighborhood walk. ​🎨 Hear directly from artist Rebecca Morgan during a personal walk-through of *Painting in the Apocalypse*. ​🚶 Discover standout Tribeca exhibitions through a thoughtfully curated route. ​💬 Meet and connect with culturally curious women through art and conversation. ​✨ Leave with new artists, ideas, and galleries to keep exploring. **Event Details** ​ **Saturday, October 3** ​**11:00 AM \| Part 1:** Gallery Breakfast & Artist talk [Asya Geisberg Gallery](https://www.asyageisberggallery.com/artists/rebecca-morgan?utm_source=luma) \| 45 White St **12:30 \- 2:30 PM \| Part 2:** Art-full Discovery Walk Ending with optional drinks & bites at the NOMO Kitchen \| 9 Crosby St\. **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/Tribecadiscoverywalk)** **Tickets** ​**Part 1: Gallery Breakfast/ Artist talk only** * ​Complimentary for [Art-full members](https://womenofculture.org/artfull-membership-nyc?utm_source=luma) * ​**Non-members**: $10 first release; $15 full price for non-members ​**Part 2:** **Art-full Discovery Walk\*** * ​**Non-members:** $45 first release; $50 full price * ​\*\*[Basic Art-full Members](https://womenofculture.org/artfull-membership-nyc?utm_source=luma):\*\* $35 first release; $40 full price * ​**Premier Art-full Members:** Complimentary ​ \*\*All tickets for part 2 include access to the gallery breakfast, so you do not need to register separately for both parts.\* *** ​**About the Art-Full Membership** ​If you are not yet an Art-full member, we would love to have you join us for as little as $45/month for the basic membership, or $65/month for the upgraded Premier membership.

Familiar imagery becomes exaggerated, irreverent, and sometimes wonderfully strange—inviting viewers to reconsider the stereotypes and cultural narratives they may take for granted. **Note about tickets/ RSVP's:** * RSVPs on Meetup do NOT count as official registrations for this event, and the RSVP count on Meetup may not reflect the actual number of attendees.

Oct Art Gallery Crawl (Third Culture Kid Meetup)

Together the group will check out several of Chelsea’s galleries. On most Thursdays, many art galleries in the city open up to the public from 6 - 8pm so everyone can check out the latest exhibits. Usually small bites and free drinks are included. After the galleries, we'll head to a nearby bar to hang out and chat about the cool, inspiring, fun (and maybe unusual) things we just saw. Exact meeting location to come. Hope to see you there! Follow us on Instagram for more updates: [@tcknyc](https://www.instagram.com/tcknyc) FYI, if it rains, we will reschedule.

Visit to Lancaster, PA 🐮

Let's enjoy a day trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania where we'll go on a tour of an Amish farm and house. Please purchase your ticket for the **1pm** [tour here](https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g52970-d15853905-Premium_Amish_Country_Tour_including_Amish_Farm_and_House-Lancaster_Lancaster_Count.html). After viewing the farm, we'll enjoy an early dinner at [Miller’s Smorgasbord](https://www.millerssmorgasbord.com/menus/); an all you can eat buffet restaurant. Finally we'll conclude our trip at the [Lancaster Brewing Company](https://www.lancasterbrewing.com/our-beer/). Please be advised, the town isn't very walk-able so we'll need to take a few Uber rides once we arrive in Lancaster. We are traveling to Pennsylvania through Amtrak. The train departs from Moynihan Station at **9:09 am**. It will take approximately 3 hours to reach Lancaster. Returning home, we are catching the **7:40 pm** train back to New York. It's recommended you purchase your train tickets as early as possible because the price will rise exponentially as the date approaches.

Chelsea Art Gallery Crawl!

Hello everyone! We will check out the various art galleries in Chelsea, between 10th and 11th Ave and between 28th - 23rd Streets. They always have interesting and creative art and you never know what to expect (in a good way). No art background needed — half the fun is reacting to it together. If enough people are interested we will go to a nearby restaurant afterwards. Newcomers and anyone coming on their own are welcome — we’re a friendly, easygoing group and easy to find. Hope to see you there!

Meet in the Arts

[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.
