CHELSEA ART GALLERY HOP-MEMBERS APPRECIATION EVENT-LIMITED SPACE
Details
It's been a tough 2026.
We have another event scheduled on February 15 also.
ONLY RSVP AFTER YOU HAVE READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT CAREFULLY AND ANY COMMENTS I POST. I CONSIDER THIS A MEMBERS APPRECIATION EVENT. OF ALL THE EVENTS WE DO, I PROBABLY HAVE THE MOST FUN ON THIS ONE.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP, YOU MUST SEND ME YOUR E-MAIL TO bsb2@att.net as soon as you join the wait list. This will help me communicate more effectively with you. If you cannot abide by this simple request, you are going to end up on the NOT going list.
THE WAITLIST IS GOING TO BEGIN AT ONE ON THIS EVENT.
THIS GROUP DOES NOT USE THE WAITLIST IN A CONVENTIONAL WAY.THOSE ON THE WAITLIST WILL NOT BE MOVED TO THE GOING LIST AUTOMATICALLY. I do NOT believe that the Meetup waitlist works well for a number of reasons.
IF APPLICABLE, ALWAYS JOIN THE WAIT LIST WITH LOW PRIORITY WHICH IS FREE. IT APPEARS MEETUP WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO JOIN MEETUP + BUT IN SMALLER LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE YOU CAN CLICK CONTINUE WITH THE FREE PLAN. There is NEVER a need to pay extra to use Meetup's High Priority wait list classification for this group.
THERE IS LIMITED SPACE ON THIS EVENT.
I WANT TO INITIALLY REWARD NEWER MEMBERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED EVENTS AND OTHER 2025 REGULAR ATTENDEES FOR SUPPORTING THIS GROUP. WE ARE THEREFORE GOING TO GIVE SOME PRIORITY TO THOSE MEMBERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST ONE EVENT AND HOPEFULLY MORE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS WITH FEW CANCELLATIONS.
IF YOU HAVE ATTENDED AN EVENT BEFORE WITH THIS GROUP AND WANT TO BRING A GUEST, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. NO GUESTS UNLESS I KNOW YOU.
I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS ON THIS EVENT EVEN IF YOU TRY TO FORCE YOUR MONEY ON ME!
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE LED NUMEROUS ART GALLERY HOPS IN CHELSEA AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY ARE ALWAYS FAST PACED, A LOT OF FUN AND ARE A BIT INSANE.
We are going to visit many, many, many art galleries and will not spend much time in any of them. If your attention span is similar to that of a fruit fly (and there was one flying around in my apartment a few years ago), this event will be especially appealing to you. Of course, if you see a gallery you like, you can always come back on your own. And that's why we do this. (Photo is a painting by Vestie Davis of Coney Island in 1968 that I own.) WE PLAN ON MAKING A VISIT TO A SPECIAL GALLERY AND IT'S SPECIAL BECAUSE OF IT'S LOCATION.
PLEASE READ "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT" ON THIS MEETUP'S HOME PAGE BEFORE YOU RSVP IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY ON "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT” NOW SPECIFICALLY REFERENCES THE CORONA VIRUS. (THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY HAS BEEN POSTED SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS MEETUP GROUP)
MEETING DETAILS WILL BE SENT BY E-MAIL TO THOSE WHO RSVP NO LATER THAN THE EVENING BEFORE THE HIKE.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR MEETUP SETTINGS ALLOW YOU TO RECEIVE E-MAILS. IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, ON YOUR DESKTOP, PLEASE CLICK ON YOUR PROFILE (it's in the upper right of the Home Page), THEN SETTINGS ,THEN E-MAIL UPDATES AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN RECEIVE E-MAILS THRU MEETUP. THAT'S THE WAY YOU WILL LEARN WHERE THE MEETING PLACE IS. ALSO PLEASE CHECK THIS SITE RIGHT UP TO THE DAY OF THE EVENT TO SEE IF I HAVE POSTED ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE EVENT-I LIKE TO THINK THOSE COMMENTS ARE IMPORTANT! ALSO PERIODICALLY CHECK YOUR MESSAGES LINK ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE WEBSITE. YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH MEETUP GROUPS YOU WANT TO RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM.
I am going to ask that people NOT post any comments or questions prior to the event. You have more than enough information to do this once you get the meeting details. No offense, but I don’t need to know-and probably neither does anyone else- what you are doing that day if you can’t make it or what you think the weather will be. AFTER the event, post as many comments and photos as you like. PLEASE RESPECT MY WISHES ON THIS.
If the weather forecast is really bad, See Accuweather like I do, I will post a notice on the day of the hike by 7:00 A.M. If there is no notice, we go.
We will finish BEFORE 5:00 p.m. near West 34th Street, Hudson Yards and Penn Station. Of course you can leave any time.
