Well, after about 3 years of being artistically dead, I have refound it and have just gotten back into art, from drawing to music.
For more research and inspiration hopefully, my friend recommended Art Galleries and Museums which i have no idea how to approach. She said as I live in New York, there shoudl eb some of the best exhibits and such and a true experience waiting to be found.
I'm a total novice at this so i was wondering are these places I can just go up to and walk in to? Or pay and then go in? Or are there certain schedulings and such I should know about before going in?
Basically I'm looking for somewhere that has some good art, paintings, drawings, sculptures, anythign really worth looking at and visually studying by myself.
So any help, suggestions, tips and advice are needed!!
Also if anyone knows any good places to go that would also be awesome! If its any help I live in Bayside, NY.

Type "art museums, New York City" into your search engine, then click onto the websites of any of the gazillion organizations that pop up. All of the web sites will give you the nuts and bolts details: location, schedules, whether or not there is a cost, (even those that do charge an entry fee will often have a day or an evening with reduced cost or free entry.) The bigger museums will have at least a portion of their collections accessible from their web sites, so you can check out their holdings before investing your time to go.
You don't mention what your interests are, but somewhere in New York there will be a museum that has something interesting to you.

You just walk in, there's really nothing you have to know before walking into a gallery except the obvious, don't touch the work. If you want to talk to other people about the art there check gallery websites and look for flyers or ask for information there as to when they hold receptions. Then maybe too you can get a chance to see what the artist has to say. Generally some larger museums may make you pay, if it's anything like D.C. then not all of them. Have fun exploring galleries!
