Chelsea print galleries: A focused contemporary art walk
Three Chelsea rooms moving from contemporary work into print and artist-run exhibitions.

James Gallery's Civic Conversations
The James Gallery pairs emotionally resonant contemporary art with collaborative forums at 365 Fifth Avenue. Multidisciplinary programs extend the visual exhibitions, making conversation integral to the CUNY setting. Instead of rushing to the next display, let the collaborative forum frame the first stop and listen for links across fields.
Print Center's Loft Editions
Print Center New York is a nonprofit learning center and exhibition space devoted to printmaking. At 535 West 24th Street, its intimate, loft-like rooms support focused encounters with thought-provoking shows. The medium rewards attention to process and surface, so slow down for the printmaking process before crossing Chelsea.
Atlantic's Artist Cooperative
Founded in Brooklyn in 1974, Atlantic Gallery later moved through SoHo before settling in Chelsea's Landmark Arts Building. The artist-run cooperative at 548 West 28th Street rotates contemporary painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Its Suite 540 address sits half a block from the High Line, making it easy to finish half a block from the High Line.
