Artstuff of interest in the New York area

Hi!

My sister and her husband have moved to Scranton and had their first baby. June 10-29 my boyfriend and I are coming over to visit them. We will be going to New York, Niagara Falls, Thousand Lakes - well, that area in general. We will go to the Met and maybe the Guggenheim museum while in New York.

Do you know of anything of interest in the area that we mustn't miss?

Artists that allow visitors, galleries, exibitions, schools... I'm interested in everything you know of, I hope to fit some of it in our plans. Knowing that Daniel E Greene lives and works not so far away I was hoping there was somewhere to see his art. I would also be interested in attending an open studio session if you know of one in the area.

So, what happens in the New York - Scranton area between June 10 and 29?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hanna,

You might try this link for general information:http://www.newyorkartworld.com/artlinks/artlinks.html

The Frick Gallery is a very nice gallery near the Met across from Central Park.

I'm just an out-of-towner like yourself, others could be more specific.

Hanna,

If you're going to be based in Scranton, then Philadelphia is less than a two hour drive down I-476, and is worth a side trip. Visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art :

The Rodin Museum:

And, visit The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts:

"The Sublime Landscape" opens June 19th, and the Annual Alumni Exhibition at 1301 Cherry Street, opens June 4th. This is where I went to art school. I will probably be exhibiting my painting "Apotheoun" in this show http://forum.portraitartist.com/showthread.php?t=4136. So come on down!

Thank you Garth!

It would really be nice to see your "Apotheoun" live. I might just take a trip down to Philly. I visited The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts website, it seemed like a very good school. The seminares/lectures they offered to the public would have been nice to attend. Too bad there vere no lectures from June through August.

I know now that we are going out to the coast as well, (camping), probably north of New York.

Hopefully this isn't too late, but just in case you are a fan of Odd Nerdrum, the Forum Gallery is showing new works of his until the 30th of next month. Also since you work in pastel, the Pastel Society is located in Gramercy Park. You may want to call first to see if they have anything going on.

Then of course there are tons of galleries in SoHo and the surrounding area. Picking up a copy of The Gallery Guide would be helpful narrowing down the galleries that would be of interest to you. Hope you have a great time.
