This Saturday: Take the G Train to Williamsburg Art Walking Tour

This sounds fun. And now that the G train stops on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope and goes to Williamsburg (Lorimar Street if I am correct) this event is too easy to get to to miss.

The Williamsburg Gallery Association is hosting walking tours of the neighborhood's cutting-edge art galleries, led by art critic and art tour guide Merrily Kerr. A writer and trendspotter for magazines including Time Out New York and Flash Art, Merrily will take you to see the artwork and exhibitions that make Williamsbug a must-see for art lovers and the art-curious alike. 

The last tour is this Saturday, July 11 at 2 pm. This tour will demonstrate the diversity of Williamsburg's art offerings, from Weimar paintings to avant-garde contemporary. In a quirky apartment gallery or the post-industrial expanse of one of the area's newest and largest art spaces, come explore the unique visions of the city's most creative people.

The tours leave from the WGA table on Bedford Avenue near North 5th Street and will last approximately 1.5 hours. Tickets are just $10 and can be purchased prior to the tour at the WGA table on Bedford Ave., or online through Paypal. Visit the WGA online to purchase advance tickets: http://www.rawmag.org/williamsburgwalks.html. Tickets MUST be purchased by Wednesday, July 8 to reserve a place on the tour.
