When it comes to the wondrous world of New York City’s Arts & Entertainment, we have been getting our fix virtually for the past few months, which has offered unique opportunities to view art we would usually be too busy to see IRL, and also hear from and actually see the talented artists behind these works. With the recent news of Broadway being closed indefinitely until January 2021, and the reopening of the city’s museums are no longer part of Phase 4, many art enthusiasts and those following the art scene wonder what will be next.
What you might not have known, is that included in Phase 2 Reopening Plans were the city’s art galleries, and even though many have not reopened to the public at this time, a few have within the last two weeks. Museums begin their return in the last week of August. Rather be outdoors? a few green spaces have or will reopen as well! If you do choose to venture out, waiting for you will be new COVID-19 precautions put in place to keep visitors and staff safe. This includes mandatory face coverings, social distancing floor markers, and hand sanitizer for all. This being said, we have created a listing of our favorite opportunities and current exhibitions, viewing art how we’ve known it to be, in a gallery, or the great outdoors. Now, onto the art!
