Chelsea Afternoon (New York Day Trip)

Chelsea Afternoon (New York Day Trip)

Sat, Sep 26, 5:00 PM
From Philadelphia Art Appreciation Meetup Group
4.8

I think a case can be made that the Chelsea area of Manhattan contains more galleries than anywhere else in the universe. (I'm making an assumption here that other intelligent life somewhere out there doesn't have "art" and "galleries" as we know them. :)) Whether or not the above is true, let's at least make a dent in the huge number of galleries in this neighborhood by starting in the middle and heading south. I'll work up a detailed and specific itinerary within the coming weeks, but let's say straight off that we'll meet at 1:00 at Jim Kempner Fine Art, a gallery on the Northwest corner of 23rd Street and 10th Avenue that is pretty much impossible to miss because looks like a multi-level contemporary house: https://www.jimkempnerfineart.com/ The first thing you encounter upon walking in is the sculpture garden: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-new-york-city-ny-usa-modern-architecture-art-jim-kempner-fine-art-50949706.html https://www.vaadia.com/exhibitions/jimkempner_2011.shtml So let's meet there unless it's raining or really hot, in which case, let's just go inside and meet on the first floor. Other places I'd like to include in the day's outing are Little Island, Pier 57, the Highline (which the photo in this posting is taken from), and, if people are really interested, Hudson Yards. I will probably be sticking around to attend the Brooklyn Book Festival the next day and can help people get to trains and busses if that's wanted or needed. :) More to come!

From Chapter Community: A Group for Retirees and Beyond
4.6

**Join us to learn about O'Keefe and create your own abstract flower paintings.** Georgia O’Keeffe’s striking flower paintings are a powerful reminder to appreciate the beauty in the little things, even during the most chaotic times. She paved the way as the foremother of the feminist art movement and holds the record for the most expensive work ever sold by a female artist. Learn about the inspiration behind O’Keeffe’s work and create your own abstract flower paintings. **What to expect:** The 2 hour session will include a brief art history lesson, followed by painting. No experience necessary. All painting materials with be provided. **Please note:** Space is limited to 10 participants, so save your spot early. There's a $10 reservation fee for this event. With just 10 spots and materials prepared for the session, it helps us make sure everyone who signs up shows up ready to paint! -- *This event is part of the Chapter Community, a space for people in or approaching retirement to connect, explore, and try new things, together. We kindly ask that participation be limited to this community, so the space can stay true to its mission.*
