in conjunction with G·E·T Educational Tours (licence no. 30137) – since 2008
What?
- Join a small group (no more than 8 participants) that will lead you through the bustle of New York to street art, public art, artist-run spaces and studios.
- We will take you behind the scenes of New York's remarkable art community, introducing you directly to the creators.
- This is more than art exploration – it encompasses culture, food, adventure!
How? Your tour guide, Melbourne art consultant Bernadette Alibrando (who conducts walk to art tours in Melbourne and Venice York), will immerse you in the cultural life of Brooklyn, Long Island City and, of course, Manhattan. Bernadette nurtured her love of the Big Apple while working in the city's fine art photographic gallery Silverstein Photography.
Participants will receive a box of postcards revealing the unique meeting place and instructions for each day of the tour. The tour allows you ample time to rest, shop and take in the many charms of the city that never sleeps. We will meet daily at 2pm and stroll for 3 hours before stopping for an hour of gourmet treats and wine.
Why? You may be in need of a creative break to help you discover the artist within, an educator wanting to refresh your knowledge of contemporary art, an artist wishing to connect to the New York art scene or someone who wants to explore the wealth of hidden treasures that make this city so special.
