Hanna,

You might try this link for general information:http://www.newyorkartworld.com/artlinks/artlinks.html

The Frick Gallery is a very nice gallery near the Met across from Central Park.

I'm just an out-of-towner like yourself, others could be more specific.

Visit Philadelphia!

Hanna,

If you're going to be based in Scranton, then Philadelphia is less than a two hour drive down I-476, and is worth a side trip. Visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art :

http://www.philamuseum.org/

The Rodin Museum:

www.rodinmuseum.org

And, visit The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts:

http://www.pafa.org

"The Sublime Landscape" opens June 19th, and the Annual Alumni Exhibition at 1301 Cherry Street, opens June 4th. This is where I went to art school. I will probably be exhibiting my painting "Apotheoun" in this show http://forum.portraitartist.com/showthread.php?t=4136. So come on down!

Thank you Garth!

It would really be nice to see your "Apotheoun" live. I might just take a trip down to Philly. I visited The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts website, it seemed like a very good school. The seminares/lectures they offered to the public would have been nice to attend. Too bad there vere no lectures from June through August.

I know now that we are going out to the coast as well, (camping), probably north of New York.

Hopefully this isn't too late, but just in case you are a fan of Odd Nerdrum, the Forum Gallery is showing new works of his until the 30th of next month. Also since you work in pastel, the Pastel Society is located in Gramercy Park. You may want to call first to see if they have anything going on.

Then of course there are tons of galleries in SoHo and the surrounding area. Picking up a copy of The Gallery Guide would be helpful narrowing down the galleries that would be of interest to you. Hope you have a great time.

Thank you Jimmie!

I have arrived at my sister's after (only) two hectic days in New York. We tried to do the whole of Manhattan by foot... And managed to see a lot but understandably not all. My boyfriend didn't cope more than three-four hours at the Met, and they had put away a lot of paintings, I think, due to construction work. I enjoyed it very much but I also got tired, from walking and most of all from traveling the whole, whole day before. Our ability to concentrate had disappeared somewhere in the process...

The gallery you suggested seems very interesting. I didn't recognize the artists but I liked their work (displayed on the website).
We might be going back to New York before we depart, if we do I will definitely go there.

Thank you again!

Just to give you an update about the Nerdrum show. You should be a pretty big fan to see it because it is a small show. Small in the number of pieces, but the work itself is quite big, and his work is the only one up for display. Although I liked the show (I was rushed along because my daughter was bothered by some of his images) unless you're a fan, you might come out disappointed.
