More than forty-seven artists, including Katherine Bradford, Jenny Holzer, Glenn Ligon, Sarah Sze and Wolfgang Tillmans, fill a Zwirner gallery for just five days to raise money for the Ali Forney Center. Last year's edition raised $950,000 and funded forty-five new permanent beds for homeless LGBTQ+ young people. If you want blue-chip names in a show with real stakes, catch it before it closes at the end of the week.
What to expect
Expect a salon of works by established and emerging contemporary artists in a large Chelsea gallery, organized by Stephen Truax. This is the fourth annual Ali Forney Center fundraiser and the second hosted at David Zwirner, and it runs only five days, so it rewards a planned stop on a Chelsea gallery walk.
Good to know
- Take the C or E train to 23rd Street and walk west toward the river.
- The show is not open Sunday, so plan a Friday or Saturday visit.
- Pair it with a walk through other Chelsea galleries on West 19th to 24th Streets.
- Contact the gallery directly with questions about the works.
