Art Gallery Openings in Chelsea

The gallerists were out in droves on this chilly but lovely evening in September. Each year, after the dog days of summer have passed, all the galleries in West Chelsea open their doors to the throngs of art lovers and scene seekers who enjoy being out and around art. Last night was no exception! From West 20th street all the way up to West 29th street, people filled the street with glasses of cheap wine and beer, enjoying the culture around them. A few blocks south, the fashion world was also taking the city by storm with “Fashion’s Night Out,” an evening celebrating fashion and shopping in the city. All of the designer stores and large chains hosted parties with DJ’s, special guests, cocktails and raffles all in an effort to boost clothing and fashion sales in these not-so-happy economic times. What a night to live in New York City!
