Upcoming Art Events in New York City
There’s no time to become an art aficionado in New York City like the middle of winter. It’s freezing cold outdoors, but warm and bright inside the doors of the city’s best museums, galleries, and exhibition halls. Thinking of taking up (or building upon) your love of art and design? Here are a few upcoming art events in New York City to add to your calendar.
Creating an Art Gallery on a Brick Wall
A brick wall is a unique accent that instantly adds character to a home — but it can also present challenges when it comes to decorating. Hanging wall art and photos on brick is not as easy as simply nailing a picture hanger into a stud or screwing an anchor into some drywall. It takes a little bit more planning and effort to display art on a masonry surface like brick, plaster, or concrete … but it can be done.
Mark Your Calendar for ILevel’s Next Art Exhibit
New York art lovers: We’re excited to announce the next art exhibit we’ll be hosting in our East Village studio space, An Interior Garden of Botanical Art. The show, a joint effort by ILevel and botanical art expert Susan Frei Nathan, will feature a beautiful collection of contemporary botanical art on vellum and paper by leading artists from the US and the UK, and is timed to coincide with the American Society of Botanical Artists’ 19th Annual International at the New York Design Center.
Project Spotlight: ILevel’s Art Hanging Tips for One King’s Lane
This is a really fun project to share. A few months ago, we were called upon by a client and wonderful interior designer, Elizabeth Pyne, to assist with hanging art for a story she was involved in for the home decor e-tailer (and one of our favorite decor resources!), One King’s Lane.
Holiday Events in New York City For Art, Craft & Design Lovers
The holiday season in New York City is unlike anywhere else. Between the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the iconic Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, and the Times Square Ball Drop, New Yorkers have access to some of the biggest and most beloved holiday events in the world.
How to Arrange a Collection on a Wall
One of the biggest wall art trends we’ve seen over the last few years isn’t even technically “wall art” at all. More and more, both our clients and the interior designers we work with are opting to display wall “collections” instead. Whether it’s a large set of vintage bottles, a collection of road signs, or an assortment of straw hats, the category of what constitutes wall art is ever-expanding.
