"Beatriz Cortez and rafa esparza imagine ancient artifacts flying through time and space in this exhibition," says the online arts magazine.

Art is at the heart of New York City. No other place in the country has the abundance of museums, commercial galleries, nonprofit spaces, and public art that this city boasts, and spring is the time to emerge from hibernation and take it all in. From van Gogh-inspired flowers at the New York Botanical Garden to feminist chinoiserie at The Met, a vibrant world of visual and intellectual stimulation awaits in and around the city.

We at Hyperallergic pride ourselves on being attuned to our city and readers, and we’ve assembled this guide to reflect the diversity of our readership — and to encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and experience something new, whether that means traveling to the far reaches of a borough or across state lines, or considering different artists and perspectives.

You can certainly spend a whole day in a single area — there’s more than enough to see in Chelsea or Tribeca alone — but we hope you’ll read through our guide and follow the paths that call out to you most, or that you’ve never taken. We know that you’ll find art that will nourish your soul. [...]
