Dear Art Ed friends,
I made this map for you! Make and Find Art NYC.
Actually, you made it too. Last semester I surveyed a bunch of you and asked about the best places in New York to buy art supplies and see good art. Using that invaluable information, and supplementing it with some extensive internet research, I have compiled this map for your use and reference. I hope it serves you well. As you can see, on the left side of the map are three categories: Art Supply Places, Outdoor Art, and Indoor Art. If you find yourself in say, Union Square with nothing to do, check the map! You’ll find you can go snap a pic of the sweet OSGEMEOS mural for the ‘gram, or stop by Lion Brand and grab 40 different colors of yarn (for cheap because they give discounts for students), or hop into Talwar Museum and learn about artists from the Indian Subcontinent and its Diaspora. The possibilities are endless! That being said, I also realize that the locations on this map barely skim the surface of what can be found in our lovely city. If there are places that you love that are not on this map, please tell me! I would appreciate any and all suggestions for places to add to this map. Thanks for your all your help, mi gente. Enjoy!
