Please join us on July 29, 2010 from 5- 8 PM for the first annual Chelsea Art Walk, a cooperative event organized by over 25 galleries throughout northern Chelsea. With busy summer schedules, it can be difficult to make the trip to Chelsea during regular business hours. Participating galleries will offer extended hours and special events that showcase the vibrancy of the summer arts scene in Chelsea, while local sponsors will offer food and drink specials throughout the evening.
Event sponsors include B.E.S. (559 West 22nd Street at 11th Avenue) who will be hosting an after party to cap off the evening with drink specials from 8-10 pm, Le Gamin Cafe/Creperie serving crepes all night at ClampArt (521-531 West 25th Street), Three Tarts Bakery offering 15% off homemade lemonade and ice cream sandwiches and 10% off of giftware, and Tia Pol (205 10th Avenue at 22nd Street) offering half priced pitchers of Sangria when two people come in for dinner. Also keep an eye out for Cupcake Stop Truck parked on 27th Street and the Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Truck parked on 24th Street.
