Galleries are back open to the public, and I couldn’t be happier. And, in the evolving yet exciting climate of New York City, there’s a seemingly endless list of artistic opportunities. Are you having trouble deciding where to go first? Before, you become overwhelmed with the never-ending problem of choice. Start your journey off right with these five gallery exhibits, this fall season. That is now up and running in the city. I certainly plan to visit in the next few months. From classic fashion to avant-garde pop art installations, there’s an exhibit out there for every artist imaginable.
Keep in mind that indoor galleries in NYC are requiring proof of vaccination and are mandating masks. Therefore, make sure to carefully review the safety guidelines while on each individual website before attending!

The Hippest Trip in America – By Land, Air, and Sea
Artist Alake Shilling’s newest exhibit at the Jeffery Deitch is not only a luxurious view but also a melodic journey to experience. Shilling’s paintings and ceramic sculptures are all on a prescribed “groovy journey of self-discovery,” inspired by Soul Train. Which is a show that the artist herself grew up watching. Stroll through the exhibit to view a number of exciting, pop-culture-infused works that represent Shilling’s own journey of personal discovery.
