Merrily’s passion for art is captivating! Can’t wait to take this tour again!

Such an incredible tour! Merrily is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about all things art and it showed as she energetically showed me around the galleries. Although I’ve lived in NYC for 18 years, I’ve never gone through the Chelsea art galleries and having Merrily as an expert guide was a great way to get introduced to these spaces and the artists’ works inside. She selected a nice variety of galleries and exhibitions so that we saw a diverse set of media and artists ranging from photography, paintings, sculptures and even performance art. Lastly, when I arrived, Merrily told me I was her only tour guest for the day! I’m so impressed she didn’t reschedule or cancel and I had the best day getting to explore with her and ask questions. Since what’s on at the galleries is always rotating, I will definitely take this tour with her again, as well as her architecture tour!
