Heads Up: There is an art scene outside of Chelsea! On Saturday evening, New York art lovers took advantage of the balmy weather and went on an LES ArtCrawl, enjoying galleries and museums from Bowery to East Broadway. Participants sipped on free wine and beer, and perused some of the finest examples of local art, beginning at the New Museum and onto the 28 participating galleries. The event, which was hosted by Artlog.com, was followed by an after party at GalleryBar. More photos below... More»

Last night, I had the pleasure of joining The Society (the "virtual culture club") as they took a tour of the LES's growing number of art galleries, with the help of the new L.E.S. Gallery Guide.  Starting at GalleryBar, the tour made its way around the LES and NoLita, stopping in at various galleries, where we had short talks about the works on display and the philosophies of each gallery's "view."  Our leader for the evening was Antonio Zito, an artist who draws his inspiration from this hot new area in his own work as ‘a master of the found object’ (per the Village Voice), and also conducts his own Every Last Sunday art loop.  We ended the evening back at GalleryBar and got to meet the current featured artist, Joel Fitzpatrick, while chowing down on Popburgers.
