All-New Fall Chelsea Art Gallery Walk

All-New Fall Chelsea Art Gallery Walk

Sat, Oct 3, 3:00 PM
From NYC Art Gallery Tours Meetup Group
5.0

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 Gagosian, we will explore a superb Brice Marden retrospective, including works on loan from major institutions. We will explore why Marden is viewed as a highly influential abstract artist whose work is Minimalist yet deeply humanistic. Please note $35 early bird pricing up to 2 weeks prior to the walk.

“You Can Make This Place Beautiful”

“You Can Make This Place Beautiful”

Thu, Oct 1, 10:00 PM
From The Genesis Gallery at Nova Omnia

The Genesis Gallery is excited to host the opening reception for ***You Can Make This Place Beautiful***, an exhibition by artist, calligrapher, and storyteller **David Chang**, on **Thursday, October 1, 2026, from 6:00–8:00 p.m.** Located at **150 East 91st Street**, Nova Omnia is a hub where leaders, dreamers, and doers gather to advance gospel renewal in New York City. Through Genesis Gallery, we are also intentionally shaping our space as a place for visual art, reflection, conversation, and beauty alongside its role as a meeting and coworking environment. ### About the Exhibition: Fall is a season of letting go, when flora and fauna return to the earth to prepare for slumber. Yet in this seeming dormancy, life is restored and sustained, eventually emerging through renewal and rebirth. Slumber, in many ways, is an act of grace. In ***You Can Make This Place Beautiful***, David Chang explores themes of **rest, renewal, and shared hope** through an intentionally collaborative and deeply intuitive artistic practice. By listening to the stories of a neighborhood and inviting others to share their aspirations and longings, Chang uncovers the common threads that unite us. Through expressive calligraphic forms and layered abstraction, he gathers seemingly disparate and fragmented pieces of life into a visual expression of **wholeness, beauty, and redemption**. ### Reception & Exhibition Details: **Opening Reception** Thursday, October 1, 2026 6:00–8:00 p.m. Light refreshments · Free admission **Exhibition Dates** October 1–December 3, 2026 **Gallery Hours** Tuesday–Thursday 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. **Location** Genesis Gallery at Nova Omnia 150 East 91st Street, 8th Floor New York, NY 10128 **We Kindly Ask That You RSVP Here:** [Direct RSVP link](https://dxdllf04.na2.hs-sales-engage.com/Ctc/RN+23284/dxDllf04/Jll2-6vZW7Y8-PT6lZ3m6W2dBzDm75xcfcW4qtBWv30NY5KMXNPZS5ztq3W50xYwd3X5_C_W90KWhb4F-5dDW4x__Rj3ZN6ksW2TWyYw53ljYyW68mC7f5FfwwBVGS8-p56s4ZfW8zp4tn825nZfW3c8Th52Hwt7YW2LQR412jJPqzW4Q_-Fd3ZZ1v8W8VykCx3MrNNlVRP6Sv7Z49ymW9gt1sT95bbhcW7bJkSr7-Y_nqW64YkKn5ffXd1W2YcnXH2ytxqMW98-hX85czxDTW2hZsPr772TVwW1RtxWg1bfr55W6TLbMB6VCcDdW6_5ksS22xVGSW5jpvNW4KTpX0W5TWJCs8sbl4Ff4WDHFR04) ### About the Artist: David Chang is a renowned artist who has practiced Western calligraphy for more than twenty years. His work is driven by a passion for “bringing the essence of a word or message to life,” moving between traditional scripts and contemporary abstraction. His distinctive calligraphic mark expresses personal, cultural, and spiritual awareness while retaining a formal beauty marked by urgency, hope, and redemption. Chang’s work has been exhibited at Onishi Gallery, Clemente Soto Vélez Center, Waterfall Mansion, Pratt Institute, Calvary Saint George’s, and the Society of Scribes at the National Arts Club. His calligraphy was also prominently featured in the internationally acclaimed film *mother!* (2017).

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

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

Sat, Oct 3, 4:00 PM
From Women of Culture NYC
4.8

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** ​**10:30 AM \| Part 1:** Gallery Breakfast & Artist talk [Asya Geisberg Gallery](https://www.asyageisberggallery.com/artists/rebecca-morgan?utm_source=luma) \| 45 White St ​**12:00 \- 2:00 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. You can [learn more about all membership levels and join here](https://womenofculture.org/artfull-membership?utm_source=luma) or reach out to alex@womenofculture.org with any questions. ​ **The membership provides:** * ​Access to *member exclusive* events * ​Complimentary tickets to all online events * ​Priority access to & discounts on ALL events * ​Premier members *also* get priority access to 'culture-tunities' including free VIP passes to exclusive after-hours events at cultural institutions all over the city ​*Membership renews automatically on a monthly bases and can be cancelled at any time via the [cancellation request form here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnCOltWwmAxgjoUJBHStMdEEf1uiys-qhAyuGeUIT4hjzCmw/viewform?usp=sf_link&utm_source=luma).* **About Rebecca Morgan** ​Raised in central Pennsylvania, **Rebecca Morgan** works across painting, drawing, and ceramics, bringing together Appalachian influences, folk traditions, highly detailed imagery, and a sharp sense of humor. ​Her work plays with romanticized visions of rural America while exploring ideas around **women reclaiming their subjectivity, masculinity, power, escapism, nostalgia, and contemporary identity**. 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. To attend, you must purchase a ticket, which guarantees your spot, regardless of whether you RSVP here. * All paid and confirmed attendees will receive an email from [[alex@womenofculture.org](mailto:alex@womenofculture.org)] ([mailto:alex@womenofculture.org](http://mailto:alex@womenofculture.org/))] 1–2 days before the event with further details, including a link to a WhatsApp group for important updates.
