Studio Visits R Us
I have written about the thrill of a studio visit here. If you are shy about asking for a studio visit or would feel more comfortable in a group, welcome to Art on Site.
Art on Site presents a series of monthly New York City/Brooklyn area visits to "studios of cutting edge contemporary artists working in a wide array of media." The tours are organized by area - Lower East Side, Dumbo, Williamsburg, etc. - and take no more than 10 people to three or four artist studios per tour.
Upcoming Tours:
Wednesday, May 3: Dumbo*
Tuesday, May 23: Brooklyn Navy Yard*
*Transportation is provided
Details:
All tours are from 10-12pm
The cost of each tour is $65.00
(optional lunch at end of tour - you pay)

They do not provide a sample tour on their web site so I wrote to find out who they plan to visit on their next tour. I was told that the tours are finalized just a few days before the tour so they couldn't name any artists, yet. But, they did share with me the artists that they visited on their last two tours and I was impressed: Will Cotton, Adam Cvijanovic, Santi Moix, and Ryan McGinness on the Lower East Side tour and Bruce Robbins, Margaret Evangeline, Wayne Gonzales, and James Nares on the Long Island City tour. They also do private tours if you aren't interested in mixing with the rif-raf.
No excuses now...get to a studio! Maybe I'll see you on one of their next tours.
