Back to all EventsADAA Upper East Side Gallery Walk 2025
A special afternoon across one of New York City’s most cultural neighborhoods!
Saturday, November 8, 12:00pm till 5:00pm
Our Gallery Walk returns—this time to Manhattan’s Upper East Side!
Free and open to all, the afternoon aligns with two major uptown fall events—Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory and the debut of Sotheby’s new headquarters in the Breuer building—inviting audiences uptown to discover a vibrant corner of the city’s cultural landscape, and celebrate the vibrancy and depth of the ADAA’s gallery network.
Additionally, The Drawing Foundation is offering two full days of events around the city on November 6 and 7, including conversations among curators, collectors, conservators, and artists focused on historical, modern, and contemporary drawings.
More than 25 ADAA member galleries will open their doors to the public during the Gallery Walk, offering special programming throughout the afternoon.
While visiting, enhance your Gallery Walk experience with ADAA’s free digital guide on Bloomberg Connects—no download necessary!
