Join us on this specially designed 3 hour gallery tour in Chelsea. There are now over 300 galleries in Chelsea. Ten of the top galleries who regularly show photography will be selected according to the current show they have on exhibit.
Led by Claudia Sohrens*, we will have comments and conversations, sometimes joined by a gallery representative, about the images and current trends. After reviewing the new fall photography shows, 10 will be selected to show the diversity of the new fall shows.
Note, this is not a formal structured workshop or seminar but rather a new format to spark thinking and encourage dialogue.
This is limited to 10 people due to the size of many galleries. At the end of the formal tour some may want to move to a café and continue the conversation.
