Starting March 28, 2007 from 7:30 – 11:00 pm, the Lower East Side gallery will be home to “Art For Progress Presents the GalleryBar Collective,” a weekly event that celebrates the art of the Lower East Side.

This collaboration between GalleryBar and Art For Progress--a non profit arts organization that supports emerging artists, arts education programs, and provides culturally diverse art events in the community--unites artists, gallery owners, tourists, and art lovers in general to exchange ideas and learn more about the growing artistic resources of the Lower East Side. Featuring guest DJs, theme nights, feature presentations and cocktail specials, the Collective is a great event for art lovers to mix and mingle.

Located at 120 Orchard Street between Delancey and Rivington Streets, GalleryBar is open Monday – Saturday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 am and on Sunday from 1:00 pm – 7:00 pm.
