It’s September, which means New York City’s Fall art season will be in full swing beginning this Thursday the 6th. With over 80 openings on Thursday alone, Chelsea will be a madhouse from 5pm – 9pm, not to mention the burgeoning art scene on the Lower East Side. Within this frenzy, which exhibits will be worth the elbowing through? AO has our top picks after the jump.
