The artists of West Chelsea and beyond are cordially invited to participate in the fall Preview Edition and open their studios to the public for “behind the scenes” access to local artists studios.
This will be a prime opportunity for artists, like yourself, to capitalize on the foot traffic during New York City's fall art season, to share a your artistic vision and discuss your works in-person, and importantly, sell your art.
In past years, artists have reported on the many different types of positive exposure they’ve received. This has included: numerous sales of their work, large commissioned projects, their first exhibitions, critical essays written about their work, and excellent networking opportunities with art collectors — to highlight a few.
This event is open to all West Chelsea artists and beyond with studio space, work space, shared space, apartment, or pop-up space in West Chelsea accessible to the public.
This includes an area as far North as Hudson Yards, as far South as the Whitney Museum of Art and Westbeth Artists Housing, as far East as 6th Avenue, and as far West to the Westside Highway and 11th Avenue.
The 2025 fall art season is upon us, and we look forward to your participation to open your studio or workspace to show and sell your artworks to the visiting public.
Eligible Participants: Open to all artists in the West Chelsea area who can open their commercial studios, rented spaces, accessible apartments or pop-up spaces to the public.
Application DEADLINE: Tuesday, August 26th, 2025.
