LOWER EAST SIDE GALLERY GUIDE UPDATE

This is more than a map of the galleries -- it is a route to follow that will make your gallery-going more efficient. For technical reasons it was necessary to break up the area into four separate quadrants: West of Roosevelt Park, Orchard Street, Above Grand and East of Orchard Street. By combining maps it's possible to create different routes for yourself. A PDF of the maps and gallery details is available for download and can be found on the right sidebar.

Most galleries are open Wednesday - Saturday, 12 - 6, and many are also open Sundays; but if you're schlepping down to see a particular show it's a good idea to call first to confirm. Thursdays, especially the first Thursday of the month, are when many galleries close for the installation of new exhibitions.

Galleries are still popping up like mushrooms (and closing almost as fast). I've tried my best to be inclusive, accurate and current, but I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes. Please post comments about changes you think necessary, or email them to me at LeftBankArt@gmail.com, and I'll try to update this guide on a regular basis.


WEST OF ROOSEVELT PARK


Canada (R) - 55 Chrystie St, 212-925-4631
NOTE: The gallery is out of the way, and you need to walk down a long corridor to the back of what seems like an office building or residence, but it’s well worth the effort.

Thanks. This is almost as good as the AIA gallery edition. Probably better as this only cost the price of monthly bandwidth. ;-)

Thanks. There used to be an excellent free map published by Feature Inc. Gallery, but it hasn't been around for a while. Maybe this will fill the gap.

This will come in handy! I'll save it on my phone for future reference. I see app possibilities here .

There is an app (of course!) -- ArtNear. It locates where you are and displays art venues nearby. Unfortunately, it's not very complete, although somewhat better for New York than for the rest of the world. But it's free, or $1.99 for the "Pro" version that allows you to bookmark venues. It also doesn't suggest an efficient route to take like this guide does.
