The City Quilter / The Art Quilt Gallery NYC NEW YORK--The ArtQuilt Gallery•NYC opened April 5, becoming
the only commercial gallery for quilts in New York City, filling a void in
the nation’s art center. Located in Manhattan’s Chelsea district, next to
The City Quilter, the gallery will showcase the best quilts
from around the world. Though adjoining The City Quilter on West 25th
Street, a gathering point for both hobbyists and professional quilters for
14 years, The ArtQuilt Gallery•NYC will have a separate entrance and
separate identity. - Gallery hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 11 to 6
pm; Sunday & Monday by appointment only. - Gallery web site:
