Description: Why go to museums and pay an entrance fee when you can view the best emerging artists New York City has to offer in the plethora of galleries located in and around SOHO. On the weekends, the streets of SOHO are packed with dozens of artists selling their photographs, paintings, crafts and jewelry on the sidewalk. Specifically artists line the streets on the south side of West Houston between West Broadway and Thompson Street. They can also be found along West Broadway from Prince Street down to Broome Street. If you are interested in more organized exhibitions there are plenty of galleries to visit. As a question for my scavenger hunt I tell my guests to find the gallery that plays home to the statue that would have no problem breast-feeding quintuplets. The answer to that question is the Mimi Ferzt Gallery located at 114 Prince Street. The Mimi Ferzt gallery specializes in Russion non-conformist art. The exhibition space has high ceilings and cast iron pillars. Another personal favorite is pop international galleries, inc. located at 473 West Broadway. They feature paintings and sculptures in the pop-art style and also have some interesting photographs of celebrities for sale. Some of the artists on display here include Keith Haring, Clemens Briels and Romero Britto.
