Artists and art galleries get center stage on Madison Avenue this Saturday for the annual “Madison Avenue Fall Gallery Walk.”
More than 50 galleries from 57th to 86th Streets along Madison Avenue and on streets just adjacent to the avenue, will open their doors for curator tours and talks about their current exhibitions, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
It’s among the many events during the year staged by the Madison Avenue Business Improvement District to draw extra shopper traffic to the avenue, benefiting retailers, restaurants and other businesses along Madison. The B.I.D.’s gallery walk is done in association with ArtNews.
