This sounds fun. And now that the G train stops on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope and goes to Williamsburg (Lorimar Street if I am correct) this event is too easy to get to to miss.
The Williamsburg Gallery Association is hosting walking tours of the neighborhood's cutting-edge art galleries, led by art critic and art tour guide Merrily Kerr. A writer and trendspotter for magazines including Time Out New York and Flash Art, Merrily will take you to see the artwork and exhibitions that make Williamsbug a must-see for art lovers and the art-curious alike.
The last tour is this Saturday, July 11 at 2 pm. This tour will demonstrate the diversity of Williamsburg's art offerings, from Weimar paintings to avant-garde contemporary. In a quirky
apartment gallery or the post-industrial expanse of one of the area's
newest and largest art spaces, come explore the unique visions of the
city's most creative people.
