Seven New Art Spaces to Visit in Manhattan

We rounded up seven art galleries and nonprofits — all in Manhattan, with other boroughs to come soon! — that opened in the last year or so, rising from the ashes after the pandemic brought the art world to a screeching halt. 

UPCOMING OPENINGS

Edward Hopper’s New York
Whitney Museum of American Art, opening October 19

Edward Hopper lived in New York for almost 60 years and died in his studio near Washington Square Park. However, he is not thought of as a New York artist in the same way that some of his contemporaries were. The Whitney’s new show on Hopper and New York focalizes the artist’s relationship to his longtime home city.

Sin Autorización: Contemporary Cuban Art
Wallach Art Gallery, October 21

In recent years, fluctuating domestic policies and foreign relations have galvanized Cuba’s independent art scene. Sin Autorización: Contemporary Cuban Art charts the scene’s evolution through its political and intellectual context.
