Next Thursday, here in NYC, will be Chelsea Art Walk, an evening of artist talks, performances, cocktails, pop-up shops and activities; what could be nicer on a summer evening in July?

Some highlights: a Q&A and exhibit walk-through with Scott Ogden, artist, documentary filmmaker, and skate shop owner at the Ricco/Maresca Gallery; A one-time special acoustic performance by a 4-man band well known for their experimental electronic pop music at RARE Gallery; Visit Porter Contemporary to have your own Polaroid portrait taken; Coolhaus Ice Cream Truck unveils their new Buckminster Fuller ice cream sandwich at Meulensteen Gallery‘s Buckminster Fuller exhibit; a pop-up skate shop offering a custom line of artist-designed skateboards and ephemera; as well as several artist book-signings and David Zwirner’s pop-up book store.
