They appear to be running an art contest scam, baiting and switching, and inducing artists to…read moreapply, but not stating that there is a large application fee. They manage a shell nyartcompetitions.com This is a formal complaint regarding NY Art Competitions due to a lack of clear and prominent disclosure of a mandatory $55 submission fee during the initial stages of the application process. The fee was only revealed at the final step after I had already invested significant time completing the submission. This created the impression of a bait-and-switch or drip pricing structure, where material cost information was not clearly presented upfront, resulting in applicants proceeding through a lengthy submission process without full awareness of the financial requirement. I spent a significant amount of time completing the application under the assumption that all key participation requirements, including fees, would be clearly disclosed at the outset. This lack of upfront transparency led to unnecessary time expenditure and confusion regarding the true cost of participation. I am requesting improved disclosure practices so that all mandatory fees are clearly and prominently stated at the beginning of the application process before users are required to invest time or submit materials. I am also requesting deletion of my submitted materials and personal information from their system and confirmation that this has been completed.

Admission is free so roam around and definitely do make the effort all the way to 10th Ave. It's so worth it. I don't think I've ever felt frightened at an art gallery before but at the Jack Shainman Gallery I did. I was the only one wandering through the gallery and I was face to face with the art of Bharti Kher. They say art can move you. Kher's art makes such a statement and is so powerful I was literally breathless at times and took brave steps towards her sculptures of an oversized whale heart, an almost life like elephant, and a wolf. Kher experiments with porportions with her tree, bindi art, and chair sculpture. At times I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland. Kher dares to push the envelope, open your eyes to another world, and connect through culture, soul, and imagery. This is her first exhibition at the Jack Shainman Gallery and it only runs through Dec. 22.

First, loved how this Chelsea gallery is kinda hidden back in a little mini garden-scape. There is…read morealso apparently an eighth floor and a creepy elevator? Which I didn't experience this time around. I also loved the show I saw there: Lubaina Himid's "Street Sellers," which focuses on street vendors and their colorful wares, as well as how they relate to society and maybe even capitalism and colonialism. Huge, tall portraits, filled with color. Reviewing their past exhibitions, not every exhibition is my vibe, but the art they showcase is very diverse, and there is something for everyone. Like all the other galleries I've reviewed, it's free. And when in Chelsea, you can hit up several and make a whole field trip out of it. So what do you have to lose?

I have been to the Whitney twice already…read more Here are the things I love about the Whitney Museum of American Art. - Start on the 7th floor and go through each floor. No two floors are alike. You will definitely tempt all five senses. -Gorgeous Terraces where you can go out grab a drink and take photos of the Skyline of West Side. -Contemporary Art/Artist each work of art is in a league of it's own -Tour guides available to answer your questions and provide tours on highlighted artist and artwork. You definitely need to take the time to absorb the artwork and look for the silver lining. What does this piece mean to you? How do you feel? -Frenchette Bakery at The Whitney- located on the ground floor. Good food and drinks.

The Whitney Museum had a free admission week or something. The picture i posted in this review,…read morethis artwork is Cross Bearers by the self-taught African American artist Bessie Harvey (1929-1994), it looks self taught. The Museum was packed, angry elevator lady and not many people of the culture that reflects the artwork. Weird. This whole place was pretty crazy, i did nit think the art was that interesting. I mean, everybody acts like this is a big famous art museum that can change your cultural life or something, but half the people walking around in there are just phonies trying to look like they're deeply moved by a bunch of twisted old tree branches. It depresses the hell out of me. ​Its not that iteresting so don't overthink it, with all those gnarly roots and painted wood sticking out everywhere like some wild creature.That part was pretty cool, I guess. But then you've got all these fake foreign snobs in cheap coatd standing around stroking their chins, nodding like they're having a damn spiritual epiphany, when you know they're just going to go buy a ten-dollar cup of tea downstairs and brag about how cultured they are. That stuff just drives me nuts. ​The room itself was alright, clean and quiet enough, and that colorful quilt hanging on the wall behind it wasn't half bad either. But after about twenty minutes of staring at roots and watching people pretend to be brilliant art critics, I just wanted to get the hell out of there and go home. ​Three stars. It's fine if you're in the neighborhood and feeling lonely, but don't let anybody sell you a bill of goods about it.
