Thursday night is when Chelsea galleries used to have openings (pre-covid). I was curious to see if anything changed. The city is very much alive, and it's great to discover something new! What impressed me about this gallery is that it's owned by a collective of women and represents many female artists, especially Latin American artists based in New York. All I had was my📱 (the video is shot without camera 🎥 or 🎤). On July 15, they hosted an opening reception for Estefania Velez Rodriguez, a Puerto Rican artist from Brooklyn. Special thanks to Justina Gómez Romero, who talked about the history and mission of the gallery. The exhibition is on view until September 11, 2021.

Luxury cars, muscle cars, vintage cars, and even military carriers are all in one place. The highlight of the event for me is meeting a two-time world champion dragster driver, Elaine Larsen.
