I LOVE THE IPPODO GALLERY. I enjoyed it at its former location, on East 67th Street. (Closed because they have moved)
AND, I LOVE THE NEW LOCATION at 35 North Moore Street, in Tribeca. I had the pleasure of visiting yesterday, on the last day of the lovely exhibit called: " Light and Abundance: Gold in Japanese Art". It featured works from more than a dozen artists. I enjoyed it very much.
I think the reason I appreciate the IPPODO Gallery so much is because seeing the beautiful Japanese artwork and crafts seems to make me feel like I'm in a serene place, a calming place, and I don't know of anyone who wouldn't appreciate that. The artwork takes me away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is a beautiful respite. AND, equally important, the people who work at the gallery are very nice. Welcoming, not snobby. LOL.
In my humble opinion, there is nothing like seeing the art in person. I will post photos, but honestly, seeing these works in person are the way to go, if it is at all possible for you.
You can put your name and email on their mailing list so that you can be notified of upcoming events at the gallery.
I took the number one train to Franklin Street and then walked about a block or so . Of course, depending upon where you're coming from, there are various means of transportation to get to the gallery.
(I got the Number 1 train at Times Square, 42 nd Street, and headed downtown on the number 1 train.)
NEW LOCATION (as of March 2025) is:
35 North Moore Street
Tribeca. (Downtown Manhattan)
By the way, the subway train left me off near the famous Ghost Busters Firehouse. Used in the movie. It's fun to walk around in the area of the gallery, things and places to see, and places to eat. Enjoy!! Have Fun! read more
