1 Saturday, 20 Galleries: The New Yorker Hosts Passport to the Arts
Posted in: Uncategorized
What with the sluggish economy and soaring airfare prices, our passport hasn’t seen the light of day for some time and is now threatening to sell its Smythson case on eBay. Our heady days of 4 a.m. gift shopping sprees at Keflavik International Airport may be a thing of the past, but The New Yorker is helping us feel better about the passport atrophy. Tickets are now on sale for the magazine’s sixth annual Passport to the Arts event. The gallery crawl, evening cocktail reception, and silent auction benefiting Madison Square Art takes place on Saturday, November 13. A ticket (yours for $45 here) gets you a “limited-edition passport” that each of the 20—and counting—SoHo and Chelsea galleries on the self-guided tour will stamp with a replica of a featured work of art by the likes of Joel Meyerowitz, Phoebe Washburn, Polly Apfelbaum, and Roxy Paine (whose 2007 Mad. Sq. Art project is one of our all-time favorites). And with a list of participating galleries that includes David Zwirner, D’Amelio Terras, and Zach Feuer, this year’s Passport to the Arts promises to be quite a trip.
