Eclectic Art Tour. Worthwhile

Published on Dec, 2024

A variety of contemporary artists and a good choice of artists using g different styles. From graphite to steel installations to oil. This is a substantial tour of the Chelsea art galleries. Well organized.

Perfect day in Chelsea!

Will do a guided tour again. Merrily was a warm and insightful guide. Had the excitement of a backstage tour. Our group had a blast!

The perfect peek into the Chelsea art scene - highly recommended

Published on Oct, 2024

Excellent experience. Merrily is knowledgeable, the galleries were familiar to her and the artists were well researched, a broad selection all of whom worked in different media. She is a kind and helpful host and kept the tour to the perfect time. There was a real variety of work to look at, a little bit of walking and talking - we all agreed the pace was perfect and I'm already looking forward to my next trip to NY and tour with her.

Fantastic art tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

Fantastic tour! Merrily was so prepared with background on each individual artist and additional ipad photos of past work. I loved the personal views that allowed us to really understand the art we saw. Merrily is very approachable and had a great way of asking us what we were seeing! Would absolutely do this again the next time we are in New York.
