Exit Art
475 Tenth Ave., 212-966-7745
In addition to its flea market, Chelsea has exported art galleries to slightly more northern latitudes. Among them is Exit Art. The cultural center, founded by Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo, arrived in the neighborhood in 2002, and it is in its third decade of operation. With this space the gallery is confronting contemporary social issues, like in its earliest years. But now the focus is on experimental art and related creative disciplines. New shows are based on current events, and ideas submitted by the Internet can become commissioned artworks.
