I've been to numerous events, both at their current location and their former location. I've met Ringo Starr and Ron Wood, and got a glimpse at David Bowie. They always have compelling and interesting artists that they develop and promote as well as the art of more well known artists like Haring. Their prices are extremely fair and the owners are absolutely wonderful and benevolent people. They even hosted an event for the Sea Turtle Conservancy, an amazing (four stars on Charity Navigator!) marine charity for which I sit on the board of directors. I don't need to tell anyone that raising funds for non-profits is a constant need. A customer of theirs who came into the gallery during the event to look at art asked what the event was about and ended up donating $20,000 to the Sea Turtle Conservancy! Not only that, but they donated the use of the gallery for the event, i.e., they let us use the gallery for free. I am not sure who this other person is who is attempting to disparage these owners, but quite frankly, it's petty and juvenile. Get therapy. In the meantime, go see all the cool stuff at Pop Gallery. Jeff and Nanette and the whole gallery staff are lovely and helpful people, and they have great stuff too!

Unfortunately I really didn't like this immersive art experience. I think I was comparing it to the…read moreArte Museum, which had a number of rooms with beautiful themes...while this place had different "scenes," all in 1 large room with the digital artwork displayed on 3 walls of the room. I feel like I was bamboozled by the scenes displayed on their website, but I failed to realize there would only be 1 room to sit in and view the art. Then in this one room they have bean bags for either one or two people, BUT there weren't enough for the amount of people in the room... I count 6 bean bags...that's ridiculous. Majority of the people were just sitting on the floor. They had another small room that was supposed to be interactive, but that was lackluster and a mediocre way to get guests engaged. There was also a bar area where the drink prices were highly inflated for the look and taste of the drink. Unless you're bringing a younger child, who you don't want get lost in this 1 room place, I advise you to try the Arte Museum instead for more bang for your buck (and time.) Though I wasn't fond of the place, I added 2 videos for you to judge for yourself.

The director gave me a once over with her eyes, but that was it. After looking around for almost 20 minutes (I really should have left after this rude treatment, but I didn't) I asked the director for some pricing. Once that occurred, she went into action (she might as well have had a key in her back); patronizing me to the point of making me feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. What's really sad is I had GENUINE interest in acquiring a piece to share with my husband!! After this treatment my mind was completely changed. She also promised to email me pricing and information on the artist.... needless to say she did not. Very disappointing. Drop the elitist attitude, Higher Pictures!!

"I dream of painting and then I paint my dream" - V.V.G…read more I want to start off by saying I don't really understand how this experience has such horrible rating that it doesn't deserve. Also, like many, I was very skeptical of coming here. All I ever saw was the trendy ig things. I couldn't believe how such a well renowned, respected and amazing artist had just become a trendy faze on social media. You know: getting the cool projector shots and just coming here to take pictures. If you're here for this ^^^^ please don't come because you will be disappointed. You'll pay a high price and low key be kind of upset that you came here just for photos. Here's why you should come: if you're like me, Van Gogh was not my favorite artist. It's actually Salvador Dalì. Kind of like night and day. I didn't really understand Van Gogh, his art, why the big deal, why the starry night. I've seen this original painting at the Met Museum and yes, I was totally blown away. Because I didn't understand or know him as an artist that's where it all stopped for me. The Van Gogh Experience is basically an art history book in 3D. It's very much alive. My hubby surprised me with this as a date night because he just knows me way too well. We arrived at the time for our tickets, got checked in, yes, they do check vaccination and yes everyone is wearing their masks except for quick photos. Once you check in, get your badge, the experience starts. His most infamous quotes are resounded through the whole place with really amazing sound. The timelines of his life and description of things were very easy to follow. Very unboring. I definitely recommend NOT skipping reading every detail about his life because it leads up to the next thing, the why's the many things we know but we don't know. The infamous ear incident. Where he painted from. The mental illnesses he suffered from that at the time, were just a taboo. He's SO relatable. Crazy the amount of art he made in his short career as an artist. It was amazing to see The Bedroom in Arles in 3D. How everything is way off in perspective, but he intentionally made it that way. It's amazing to read everything about this piece and the other pieces he had created. Obviously nothing is original here but it's beautiful to see many of his artwork here, together, telling a story. By the time I finished the whole timeline, saw more of his artwork, knew his story. The where, the why the how. Walked into THEE immersive room with the large projection and my mouth dropped under my mask. My heart skipped a beat. My eyes puddled up with enough twinkle to fill them and shed a couple of tears. Happy, understood, heartbeating, tears. I could not believe how amazing this was. The photos weren't even as important anymore as the space. Space laid with rugs, chairs, benches. You are meant to be there, immersed into his artwork. In literal life. This left me speechless. The cutest part was being able to go into the creative room and color your own Van Gogh art. You get a new box of crayons, little table area and disinfecting things because you know, covid. The best thing? You then scan it and get to see it on the wall next to his other paintings. So fun and inspiring. You can take your little art home or hang it up on the wall with the others. Right when I thought it was over...it wasn't! Hubby got us the VIP that includes the VR experience. THIS WAS SOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't skip this. It's so amazing and worth it. You get to travel to France and see what he saw!!!! The places he painted most of his famous art. Overall, the Van Gogh Immersive Experience in NYC was beyond worth it. I left SO rich, encouraged, motivated and happy. I feel like I grew as a person, got to understand this legend, got to live through his eyes for just 2 hours but it was a ride I'll never forget. Such an amazing unforgettable experience.

I gathered some friends, found a 20% off discount code, and we all headed over to The Shed's sprawling, modern space to check it out. Upon entering The Shed, we were basically in a large lounge, which also had a bar and various seating arrangements. My friend and I grabbed a drink at Cedric's, the downstairs bar, and waited for the rest of our group to arrive (please see separate review for Cedric's at the Shed - https://www.yelp.com/biz/cedrics-at-the-shed-new-york-3?hrid=CELSOa2pnnpkj01Q1f57fQ). When we were all settled up, we headed up the escalator into the 2 large showrooms. The story of the exhibit was interesting, in that the amusement park art display from various talents had debuted in Germany in 1987. There had been plans for it to travel the world, but after the curator, André Heller, passed away, many of the pieces had been tucked away in shipping containers to only be discovered recently. Overall, the exhibit was full of colorful and fun pieces, though I wish there had been even more interactive elements. If I had not been there with a large group, I probably could have made it through the two spacious rooms in a half hour. However, we took our time, as there were some circus-type performers that would wander around every so often, and we wanted to witness the show. All in all, we were there for about an hour, which was more than enough. I felt that Luna Luna was definitely lighthearted and amusing, but I would not really call it a must-see.

There were a couple of things to walk into and experience, a lot of reading, you can't actually ride any of the rides. The view from the Butterfly Bar on the fourth floor was super cool! I'm a fan of infinity type of rooms so to see the 2 rooms that you could go into and interact in be that type...I enjoyed! Took us about an hour and a half to walk thru it and read things. Kids were there but I don't know if it makes sense to bring younger kids, I would probably pass on doing that.
