NEW YORK GALLERY WEEK (NYGW) SECOND ANNUAL EVENT TAKES PLACE MAY 6–8, 2011 WITH SPECIAL SUPPORT FOR THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART
New York Gallery is pleased to announce its second annual event, scheduled from Friday, May 6 to Sunday, May 8, 2011.
Following 2010’s highly successful kick-off year, this year’s NYGW has expanded with the participation of 60 contemporary art galleries and not-for-profit spaces. And once again, complementing the 60 solo exhibitions will be scores of free events and programs, such as guided gallery tours by artists, curators, art historians; panel discussion; film screenings; performances; special artist receptions; book signings; and more.
This year’s NYGW will benefit the Whitney Museum. In conjunction with NYGW, members of the museum’s curatorial staff will participate in select programs throughout the weekend; and the weekend will culminate with NYGW’s own gala (Saturday, May 7) held at the Museum.
Like 2010, New York Gallery Week is actually a long weekend where galleries are open with extended hours. The 60 galleries and not-for-profit spaces span Chelsea, SoHo, the Lower East Side/Bowery, West Village, the Upper East Side, and 57th Street.
Additional promotional support is being given by The Exhibitionist (theexhibitionist-ny.com), a recently launched iPhone app which will map out the gallery locations, include condensed exhibition write-ups, and highlight the special events.
