Today (Tuesday, 6-9pm) is the annual Museum Mile Festival with special events and free access at uptown museums. Great chance to check out the museums if you don't mind a crowd.

Thursday looks like the best overall night with events spanning from Williamsburg to Downtown to Chelsea and up to 139th street and Queens. Friday, Williamsburg has their monthly art crawl.

Last week, a few shows stood out including Rudy Shephard at Mixed Greens and Kyung Jeon at Tina Kim Fine Art. Also notable were drawings by Rackstraw Downes at Betty Cuningham Gallery who has undeniable talent handling perspective. For more shows, check out the Artcards Ongoing Shows section.

Have a great week and hope to see you out there!
