I love spending summers in NYC. For artists who stick around and work in their studios during July and August, NYC is one big art party, featuring a slew of group shows, each with openings, closings and often other events in between. Since list-maker Andrew Ginzel is on hiatus until September, I put together this modest linky list of recommended group shows. Please feel free to add more events (with links, please!) in the comments section.
