One of living in Manhattan\u2019s<\/a> biggest luxuries is the proximity to world-class art. The city is lousy with the stuff.\u00a0 Practically every neighborhood boasts either big-name museums or galleries displaying up-and-coming artists. In my opinion, the Chelsea<\/a> neighborhood of Manhattan can\u2019t be beat. Chelsea is home to over 300 independent art galleries (for a full list of galleries, check this website<\/a>.). These galleries show all different types of art: photography, paintings, and sculpture in pretty much any style you can imagine.<\/p>\n

There are a few reasons the Chelsea galleries stand out for me. First, most of the galleries don\u2019t have entrance fees (i.e., they\u2019re free). Second, they\u2019re located beneath Highline Park–an abandoned train track that was converted into a beautiful urban park. You combine the two and you can spend an entire day sucking up some of the best Manhattan has to offer without spending a cent. This makes a day in the Chelsea galleries perfect for dates or for spending time with friends who don\u2019t have much cash (if you don\u2019t live in New York City, you should know there is never a shortage of people complaining about being cash-poor).<\/p>\n

Should I Visit an Art Gallery?<\/h2>\n

Before I move on to highlighting some current shows, I want to address some people\u2019s intimidation of galleries. Get over it. Here is my one tip for enjoying an art gallery: Enjoy the art–don\u2019t take the art or yourself too seriously. Some of the stuff you\u2019ll see is going to be of the my-toddler-could-do-that variety. Other pieces will be really weird. You may hate some of the pieces. But appreciate it for what it is.<\/p>\n

If you think the design is cool, enjoy the design. All of these things can be used as fodder for conversation. (One note: don\u2019t mock the art while you\u2019re at the gallery; that\u2019s really rude. Wait until you\u2019re out of the gallery to mock the art.)<\/p>\n

In all honesty, there are so many galleries you can just go and walk around and look in windows to look for stuff you\u2019re interested in and you\u2019ll have a great day. All of the galleries are switching exhibitions for the winter, so now is the perfect time to go. But, if you\u2019re the type who needs a destination, here are some great shows that are going on right now.<\/p>\n
