LES Galleries Field Trip 4

After I finally got the chance to make it down to the Lower East Side and check the galleries out I admittedly felt like a few of the galleries were a little more urban than the galleries in Chelsea. I would think being that it is the "Lower East Side" I've been there just to hang out a few times and its very diverse. People there have a unique sense of style ( not everyone) but most, so I figured the art galleries would pertain to people that consider themselves urban, hip, whatever. Not every gallery was urban, they had fine art galleries just like Chelsea. The difference in my opinion Chelsea had more Fine Art galleries and would be more appealing to people of a older crowd. 2feet12inches art space, DKCT contemporary are two galleries I saw that I can say was Urban and stood out that I don't remember seeing anything similar in the Chelsea Galleries. Some of the galleries were the same because the Lower East Side does have fine art galleries as well. I think the difference in the location as I stated earlier to me it a different vibe in the Chelsea galleries, more of a "high Class" tea sipping, fancy shoes and tie gallery event but the vibe of the Lower East Side is like pair of converse some sweats and a frappe and chill and check out some art. I think for some galleries Chelsea and Lower East Side do carry some of the same collectors but only for a few galleries. Most artist make more then one kind of art work, so maybe LES galleries carries a certain artist fine art collection while Chelsea carries a certain artist Contemporary work.
