AP Art: NYC Art Week



This week is Armory week with a number of huge events in and around NYC.  The big NY Armory show and Armory events in NYC shows off tons of work and showcases what's going on in the art world along with the 77th Whitney Biennial which is a must see as it is the last to be held in the museum before their move downtown to new facilities.

Today is the due date for any students that are entering the Heckscher Long Islands Best show so make sure the artist statement is submitted along with the entry form and the work is prepared for the drop-off date with the printed paperwork.

UPDATE: I had the opportunity to interview artist Carly Ivan Garcia at the Fountain Art Fair during Armory Weekend Saturday and asked a few questions relating to students, I'll be posting the interview shortly on a blog called Warholian (which is also a worthwhile follow for artists).
