All-New Fall Chelsea Art Gallery Walk

Sat, Oct 3, 3:00 PM

From NYC Art Gallery Tours Meetup Group

5.0

I hope you are having a wonderful Summer so far. Please join us for the first art gallery MeetUp walk of this Fall on 10/03/26 at 11 AM. Chelsea is about to have dozens of openings starting on September 10th. This walk includes new solo shows by international artists, including painting, sculpture, photography, and more as available. Join us as we explore a fantastic museum-quality show of sculptures and others works by Lynda Benglis, spanning five decades of her career. Benglis broke new ground in 1968 by pouring latex on the floor of her studio, essentially blurring the lines between painting and sculpture. At Gagosian, we will explore a superb Brice Marden retrospective, including works on loan from major institutions. We will explore why Marden is viewed as a highly influential abstract artist whose work is Minimalist yet deeply humanistic. Please note $35 early bird pricing up to 2 weeks prior to the walk.

Sat, Sep 5, 4:00 PM

From JC Artsy Women (40+) 🎨🌈

Hi everyone! One of my biggest passions in life is art and its history. I love sharing my own artistic knowledge as well as learning new perspectives of it from fellow art lovers. I would like to try to execute a small art crawl on Saturday. There are a sprinkling of art galleries in Jersey City we can go to that are normally open from 11 am to 6 pm. It is totally up to you if you want to just visit one gallery or a few of them! Here are the galleries I found that are walking distance: Novado Gallery - 110 Morgan St Deep Space Gallery-77 Cornelison Ave Village West Gallery-331 Newark Ave If you’re up for it, there is one a bit further out in Journal Square, SMUSH Gallery- 340 Summit Ave Of course, we can also pop into a coffee shop or bar for refreshments. If this date does not work for most of you, I will reschedule. See you soon 😎

Although located in the heart of Manhattan, the Grolier Club remains unfamiliar to many New Yorkers. Its thoughtfully curated exhibitions explore the history, artistry, cultural importance, and enduring influence of books and printed materials. For our visit, the Club has graciously arranged a **private docent-led tour of both exhibitions currently on view**. ## 📖 Our Private Docent-Led Tour Our group will be led by a knowledgeable Grolier Club docent who will guide us through both exhibitions and explain their major themes, featured objects, historical background, and cultural significance. The guided portion of our visit will last approximately one hour. Afterward, members will have additional time to return to the displays, examine favorite objects more closely, read the exhibition materials, and continue exploring independently. ## 🖼️ Two Exhibitions in One Visit Our private tour will include both exhibitions presented within the Grolier Club’s galleries. The individual exhibition titles and complete details will be added as soon as they are formally confirmed by the Club. Members can expect a richly presented experience involving rare books, manuscripts, illustrations, printed works, historical documents, and other exceptional objects connected with the art and history of the book. ## ⏰ Event Schedule **10:45 AM** — Meet outside or near the entrance **11:00 AM – 12:00 PM** — Private docent-led tour of both exhibitions **12:00 PM – 1:00 PM** — Additional independent viewing time Members may continue exploring until they are ready to leave. ## 💵 Cost **There is no charge for this event.** The Grolier Club is generously providing our group with complimentary admission and a private docent-led tour. ## 👥 Attendance Limit This event is strictly limited to **20 members**. Because the Club is arranging a docent specifically for us, please RSVP only if you are reasonably certain that you can attend. ## 🌟 Why This Event Is Special This is an opportunity to visit a remarkable New York institution that many people have never experienced, while enjoying expert guidance through two specially curated exhibitions. The event combines art, literature, history, design, collecting, and visual culture in an elegant and intimate setting. Join us for a fascinating morning of discovery at one of New York City’s true hidden cultural treasures.

Meet in the Arts

From Singles by Neighborhood-

4.3

[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.

LET'S GO TO: THE HOROLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK

Tue, Sep 1, 3:00 PM

From New York City Art, Film, Museum, Social Club

4.8

# ⏰ LET'S GO — Inside the Horological Society of New York ## An Exclusive Private Tour of One of New York City's Hidden Treasures 🗓 **Tuesday\, September 1\, 2026 \| 11:00 AM** 📍 **Horological Society of New York** 20 West 44th Street New York, NY 10036 👥 **Maximum Attendance: 20 Members** 💵 **FREE for Members** 🔒 **A Private Tour Reserved Exclusively for the New York City Art, Film, Museum, Social Club** *** ## ✨ A Rare Opportunity Few New Yorkers Ever Experience Hidden inside an elegant Midtown Manhattan townhouse is one of New York City's oldest and most fascinating institutions—the **Horological Society of New York**. Founded in **1866**, it is America's oldest continuously operating horological organization and one of the world's foremost centers dedicated to the history, education, preservation, and craftsmanship of clocks and watches. Unlike a traditional museum visit, **our group has been invited for a private guided tour**, offering members an opportunity that very few people ever experience. *** ## ⌚ More Than Just Watches... What exactly is **Horology**? Horology is the art, science, history, engineering, and craftsmanship of measuring time. Long before smartphones and digital clocks, master craftsmen spent centuries perfecting extraordinary mechanical inventions capable of measuring time with astonishing accuracy. Behind every fine mechanical watch lies a miniature world of gears, springs, escapements, balance wheels, jewels, and precision engineering—many assembled entirely by hand. During our private visit, we'll discover how these remarkable creations evolved over hundreds of years into some of the most intricate mechanical devices ever built. *** ## 🕰️ During Our Private Tour We'll Explore... ✔️ The fascinating history of clocks and watches through the centuries. ✔️ Beautiful examples of mechanical timepieces and the engineering behind them. ✔️ The Society's remarkable headquarters and internationally respected horological library. ✔️ How watchmakers became some of history's greatest craftsmen and engineers. ✔️ Why New York became an important center for horological education. *** ## 🌟 Why This Event Is Special This is **not** simply a museum visit. It is a private invitation into an institution that most New Yorkers have never heard of and will likely never have the opportunity to visit. Experiences like this have become the hallmark of our Meetup group—exclusive cultural opportunities that go far beyond the typical museum tour. If you enjoy history, craftsmanship, engineering, design, decorative arts, science, or simply discovering hidden places that few people ever see, this promises to be one of our most unique events of the year. *** ## ⏳ Attendance Is Strictly Limited Because of the intimate nature of this private visit, **attendance is limited to just 20 members.** Once the event reaches capacity, additional members will be placed on a waitlist. We expect this exclusive opportunity to fill quickly, so early registration is encouraged.
