First, let me send a quick thank you to everyone who came to our inaugural "Artist Conversations" event last week. Over a hundred artists, curators and enthusiasts came for the artist talk and performances throughout the night at Invisible Dog in Brooklyn. Stay tuned for more events in the series and check out the results of the Twitter performance.

A relatively busy week for the end of July with the "2011 Chelsea Art Walk" this Thursday. The event spans across many galleries with lectures, receptions, and workshops, although it is still summer so the energy may not be as high as in September.

Saturday offers a couple events just outside the city: NADA presents "NADA Hudson" in Hudson, NY, and Dia:Beacon has an artist talk on Robert Smithson.

Have a great week ahead!
