ART & LIFESTYLE: September 19th 2024 - Soho, NY: Opening Night
On Thursday - September 19th, The Soho Grand Hotel opened the doors to it’s gallery space - The Soho Grand Gallery. The decadent space is located at 320 West Broadway, Soho NY.
Without trying, both the hotel and gallery encapsulate a vibrant Art Deco and Gilded Age atmosphere and decor. The opening of the gallery presented the Chris Stein’s “Under a Rock” exhibit, which showcased a collection of photographs from the iconic Mr. Stein. The exhibit was a partnership with the Morrison Hotel. Guests were welcomed with drink specials, passing hors d’oeuvres and warm conversations.
I had the wonderful opportunity to briefly view the space before the doers opened and spoke with NYC hospitality guru and Digital Marketing Manager for the Soho Grand franchises, Michael Zayas. “We wanted to open our doors of this private space to the community and provide an art experience,” Michael declares. The art work itself is truly remarkable and the stories can be told through the photographs. The exhibit is on display until December 19th.
