Galleries Off the Grid

New York City may be known for grand museums like The Met and MoMA, but the city’s creative soul often lives in smaller, lesser-known spaces. Wander beyond the tourist trail and you’ll find artists at work in converted warehouses, apartment pop-ups, and vibrant studios hidden behind graffiti-covered doors. These intimate galleries invite you to experience art up close—sometimes with the artist right there to talk about their vision over a glass of wine
