Art is in the eye of the Beholdrs

The only guide to art life you'll ever need.

Art life. Not just seeing art, but living it. Letting it inspire you, move you, and connect you with the neighborhoods around you – and maybe even yourself.

We’re here to throw open the doors and invite you into the creative soul of the city, so you can live your best art life.

Get into art, so art gets into you.

If you want to show someone art, you point them to an art work. If you want to show them the art life, you take them on a walk.

So we’re launching Beholdr with maps of art spaces in Chinatown, East Village, Lower East Side, NoHo, and NoLita you might not find on your own.

We’ve included places to eat, drink, shop, and relax next door to art the community swears by. Every art life adventure needs fuel, after all.

So take a look around. Dive into our maps. Get out in the neighborhood, explore, and find your place in art life.
