Tribeca Art Gallery Tour ($24-$30, See Details) - NEW DATE
Dimin Art Gallery (inside), 406 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York, NY, US[ALL LINKS BELOW WORK ON EVENT PAGES BUT ARE DICEY IN EMAILS.]
Sign up (or see if any spots left) on: Paypal or Ticketleap
Cost:
$24 online till all links shut down 4 hrs prior to the start time
$30 onsite (cash only, exact change) if not sold out
===================================================
Join us as we explore the rapidly growing art scene in Tribeca. Our itinerary will consist of 6-7 shows, previewed (in person) and pre-selected by the host, in a variety of media, with an exclusive presentation by an artist or gallerist at some stops.
A couple of highlights:
- paintings on handmade bark cloth by an indigenous artist born in Peru. They reflect the culture and often tragic history of his clan (White Heron) and nation (Uitoto).
- a solo show by a major African-American artist who passed away in 2024, famous for her "narrative quilts".
Plus at least three more!
===================================================
IMPORTANT:
- After paying online, please check your credit / debit card account to make sure the transaction went through.
- RSVP on Meetup is optional and does NOT reserve your spot or lock in the price. Please use the blue Ticketleap or Paypal link above.
- Emergency contact for "day of" is (917) 680-0656 if you are late or lost. The voicemail greeting will list our first one or two stops. For all other info, send an "old-fashioned" text directly to my number. Do NOT attempt to reach me via email, Meetup, Ticketleap or any other Internet-based channel, as those methods are not reliable on my phone.
- If you have bought a ticket but cannot attend, you have two options. To get a credit toward a future art tour or walk, notify me via direct (not Internet-based) text, voice call, or voicemail. This must be done BEFORE the listed start time so that the group does not get stuck waiting for you. Alternatively, you can send someone in your place; at check-in, simply have him or her mention the name under which you paid.
- Sorry, no refunds unless the event is cancelled or rescheduled.
- The tour will last two to three hours. Afterward, we may go somewhere nearby for drinks, food and socializing if there is interest.
- Art novices are welcome, as are people with extensive art backgrounds.
- This event was created specifically for members of my Meetup groups and private email lists, their guests, and special invitees.
- Please note that the total RSVP count includes people coming from other Meetup and non-Meetup groups. It is manually updated every 12 - 48 hours and is NOT an arbitrary number. However, also remember that "no-shows" can never be accurately predicted.
See you there!
