'Art Gallery Tours New York' Announces Upper East Side Gallery Tour, 6/12

"Art Gallery Tours New York" announces an Upper East Side gallery tour on Saturday, June 12 at 1:00 PM. The tour will begin at 1018 Madison Ave. at 78th St. and will cost $20.

Visit seven contemporary art exhibits in converted mansions throughout the Upper East Side. We find and explain that week's most fascinating exhibits, in the areas of painting, sculpture, electronic media, and photography. The tour will be led by Rafael Risemberg, Ph.D. New York City is the world's center for contemporary art, with over 600 galleries. For our daytime tours we select the most extraordinary cutting-edge art exhibits, and on our evening tours we visit festive gallery openings that have the best advance buzz. With hundreds of gallery contacts, we also help artists find gallery representation.

Our most frequent tours take place in Chelsea, with its 300 galleries, plus we offer special tours in Soho, Lower East Side, Upper East Side, and Midtown. For each tour, our director, who holds a Ph.D. in arts education, selects the most fascinating and varied exhibits for you to explore -- the newest in painting, sculpture, electronic media and photography, by American and International Artists. At each stop, our director helps explain the artwork and leads the group in lively discussion.

Our tours take place no matter what the temperature or weather -- rain or shine -- as we are indoors over 90% of the time. Exhibits change frequently, so month to month we offer completely different tours! And, for artists looking to show in a gallery, schedule a consult with us to advance your career.
