Art life. Not just seeing art, but living it. Letting it inspire you, move you, reconnect you with the city around you – and maybe even yourself.
But you can’t always get there alone.
We’re here to throw open the doors, introduce you to some new art friends, and plunge you into the creative soul of the city.
We believe the best way to tune into art life is on foot, by strolling, pausing, noticing, and getting deep into the neighborhood.
So, we’re launching Beholdr with a free map of art spaces in Chinatown, East Village, Lower East Side, NoHo, and NoLita you might not find on your own.
We’ll introduce you to museums, galleries, and project spaces. Some are new to the scene. Others have been around for decades. All of them show art that continually inspires.
And, because artists, curators, and gallerists who live and work in the neighborhood know it best, we’ve included places to eat, drink, shop, and relax next door to art they swear by. Every art adventure needs fuel, after all.
Dive into our map. Dive into our map. Get out in the neighborhood and explore. Before you know it, you’ll be the one saying,
Beholdr was founded in 2019 by Bridget Goodbody, PhD. art critic, historian, professor, entrepreneur, and true New Yorker.
