Chelsea Arts District (original) (raw)

The Chelsea Arts District, sometimes also called the West Chelsea Arts District or the Chelsea Gallery District is a region of Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood that runs from 18th to 28th Streets between Tenth and Eleventh avenues that is known for its concentration of art galleries. It developed as part of the neighborhood's rezoning and shift in the international art market in the late 1990s and early 2000s. While galleries have relocated to other areas due to rising rents and the distance from the subway, new galleries have taken their place and the area remains an arts hub.
