I've never been to any of the downtown galleries before. It's always felt too intimidating and overwhelming. I had no idea where to start. Merrily led our small group to seven galleries in Chelsea. It was an extremely well planned two hours. We were able to see a wide range of photography, paintings, mixed media and large installations, and Merrily shared background information on each artist and their works. She enabled us to understand what we were seeing in a way we never could have without her guidance and knowledge! She made the art extremely accessible and I'll definitely take another tour with her!

I’ve gone on two tours and both were excellent. Inspiring, educational and fun; you’ll see an incredible range of art works in some of Chelsea’s most unique and beautiful art spaces.

Great experience - would do it again! Merrily arranged an itinerary and was knowledgeable of the neighborhood. it’s history, the gallery spaces, artwork and artists. It all made for an excellent experience. It would have taken us a tremendous amount of time to plan this out on our own, and we would have missed a lot without the complementary expertise and knowledge of the neighborhood. I left feeling comfortable enough to walk around on my own (and bring my family) another time - and eager to participate in one of Merrily’s other tours.
