Art Out: Tribeca Gallery Walk

New York City doesn’t have one singular hub or focal point for artistic culture. Art moves and shifts throughout different areas. Right now, the neighborhood of Tribeca is booming with artistic expression that litters the streets and the galleries. The Tribeca Gallery Walk returned for a second time on September 14th, in collaboration with thirteen galleries showcasing a range of works including sculpture, film, painting, and photography - both abstract and intricate.

Organized through a partnership between Redwood Property Group and Independent New York, the Gallery Walk capitalized on the vibrancy of Tribeca’s art spaces. Most of the galleries were not even around two years ago. Although the actual tour took place on Saturday 14th, we should think of it more as opening the door to the plethora of artwork available to view. Luckily for us, most of the gallery’s exhibitions continue on into at least late October leaving plenty of time to get out there. Tribeca’s incredible growing art scene also includes galleries that were not part of the Gallery Walk. Lehmann Maupin and The Journal are both hosting exhibitions over the next month.

There is something for everyone throughout the diverse mix of gallery shows, as the spaces vary in size and feel. From Roe Ethridge’s Sanctuary 2 in the Andrew Kreps Gallery to Lucie Stahl’s eerie portrayal of decommissioned oil rigs in her collection Crude at the Queer Thoughts gallery, there is so much to see and interact with. Although the prospect of thirteen galleries may seem daunting to some, the Tribeca Gallery Walk has shed light on some incredible artwork and culture to be found downtown. This engaging experience is not to be missed.
