This Weekend: Art Fairs NYC!

The art fairs have come to NYC! Doors open today.

All the galleries, their artists, dealers and art lovers will be out in full force. I've never gone to these before, but just looking at the weekend possibilities is overwhelming. There's so much to see, in fact, I'm afraid of catching Stendhal syndrome. Now, let me catch my breath before entering the whirl.

Here's how it breaks down:

I am definitely going to Bridge and Volta, and the Williamsburg Gallery Association seems to be planning and all) and join some Salon friends on Sunday at Pulse. Will I do all this, plus go to a play and host a book club at my unfurnished apartment?


That remains to be seen, and then blogged about.
