October 24, 2026 · 1 PM
Jim Kempner Fine Art, 510 West 23rd Street, New York
A group afternoon visiting Chelsea galleries, meeting at Jim Kempner Fine Art at 1:00 PM and heading south; the detailed itinerary is forthcoming.
Join the Art Appreciation Group for a Chelsea gallery outing starting at Jim Kempner Fine Art, with the detailed itinerary still to be announced.
I think a case can be made that the Chelsea area of Manhattan contains more galleries than anywhere else in the universe. (I'm making an assumption here that other intelligent life somewhere out there doesn't have "art" and "galleries" as we know them. :)) Whether or not the above is true, let's at least make a dent in the huge number of galleries in this neighborhood by starting in the middle and heading south. I'll work up a detailed and specific itinerary within the coming weeks, but let's say straight off that we'll meet at 1:00 at Jim Kempner Fine Art, a gallery on the Northwest corner of 23rd Street and 10th Avenue that is pretty much impossible to miss because looks like a multi-level contemporary house: [https://www.jimkempnerfineart.com/](https://www.jimkempnerfineart.com/) The first thing you encounter upon walking in is the sculpture garden: [https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-new-york-city-ny-usa-modern-architecture-art-jim-kempner-fine-art-50949706.html](https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-new-york-city-ny-usa-modern-architecture-art-jim-kempner-fine-art-50949706.html) [https://www.vaadia.com/exhibitions/jimkempner_2011.shtml](https://www.vaadia.com/exhibitions/jimkempner_2011.shtml) So let's meet there unless it's raining or really hot, in which case, let's just go inside and meet on the first floor.
