Art We ♥: Benrimon Contemporary Gallery

Tucked away on the second floor of 514 West 24th Street in the Chelsea Gallery District is Benrimon Contemporary. The gallery, opened in April earlier this year, is dedicated to making art exciting and accessible to all.

It was founded by Leon Benrimon with help from his sister Linda. They grew up around art and in museums. Their father David owns David Benrimon Fine Art, a midtown gallery located at 21 East 65th St. They opened their own gallery with a mission to bring a fresh perspective to art in Manhattan.
The gallery features Contemporary and Modern artists. Currently showing the exhibit Younger Than Moses: Idle Worship. It consists of paintings, sculptures, performances, film, photography, and collage. This particular exhibit will be open through September 12.

Benrimon Contemporary has an extensive exhibition schedule, featuring eleven shows a year. Every opening is open to the public and admission is free. Stop by on Thursdays anytime until 10 pm and enjoy drinks, snacks, and great art!

'Til next time,
Jessie
