Art, Art, Everywhere: Gallery Shows & More throughout Weekend

If there was a weekend where you wanted to check out art, this is it. No, it's not a coordinated event or festival, it's just good timing. This happens every year as the art season is very much like back to school. Everyone has been gone for a month or two so it just happens that all the fall shows open the same time.
"This weekend people are driving cross town to see as much as possible," explained Bettina Korek, Founder of ForYourArt, which lists the best of best for the weekend on its website. "We have hard core art warriors out, plotting their days strategically. Galleries and museums are putting their best forward, so even if you don’t go to openings regularly, this is a great weekend to try something new."
