Greenwich Village has spawned more influential artists than any other place in America. Walk the Village streets with artist and historian Marc Kehoe and hear tales of John Sloan and the Ashcan School, Marcel Duchamp and the R. Mutt scandal, the Republic of Greenwich Village, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Jackson Pollock, Albert Pynkham Ryder, Berenice Abbott, Julian Schnabel and the many women artists who worked, sometimes behind the scenes and with little acclaim at times supporting male artists, to change the face of American culture.
The tour concludes with a guided visit to Framing the Village, the group show of contemporary art at Moshava Gallery that Kehoe has curated for The Village Trip. Clients can then get coffee or a snack at a charming nearby cafe and continue the discussion with Kehoe. Or they can join David Amram and friends for a block party on Eighth Street where theyโll find good music, good food, refreshing drinks, and family-friendly activities.
