Sure, rents are insanely high, art-supply stores are an increasingly rare breed and New York’s art scene seems to keep moving one more subway stop away, but that doesn’t mean the NYC artist is dead! In this week’s issue of Time Out New York, we look at five young New York artists who are not just making it work, but thriving. We also run down the best finger-on-the-pulse galleries to see work from art world up-and-comers.
Elsewhere in the magazine, our Deputy Editor (and self-proclaimed online dating addict Carla Sosenko) tries to (gasp!) actually meet people in the flesh at seven buzzy spots around town. We also give you all the information you need to know about New York’s best beaches and tell you where you can get some of the weirdest, wildest new flavors of ice cream in NYC. (Kale cookies and cream? Yeah, it’s a thing.)
Heading to FarmBorough on Randall’s Island next weekend? You’ll definitely want to take in our interview with honky-tonk icon Dwight Yoakam and Country It dude Dierks Bentley. (They have some pretty nice things to say about the city.) You also won’t want to miss our reviews of the new Pixar film Inside Out and the one sex party comedy you have to see off-Broadway this summer, The Qualms.
Oh, and we catch up with the King Neptune and Queen Mermaid at this year's Coney Island Mermaid Parade. See you at the beach, New York!
