Feel the history of art in the museum
Well, if you and your partner like art and culture, you will definitely have a good time visiting one of the New York museums. The city has a wide range of them to offer. Those who love antique places and artwork created by well-known artists should try Manhattan’s Museum Mile. Both a museum tour and a frequently organized museum night will give you a lot of pleasure.
First, you should go to The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, the largest art museum in the United States. Whether you are experienced or just beginning in art studying, the museum will be interesting for you. While being here, definitely take a look at the exhibits from Ancient Egypt. Just feel the history that surrounds these incredible pieces!
Solomon Guggenheim Museum will surprise you not only from the inside but also from the outside. Take a moment to enjoy the architecture of the building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Cézanne, Brancusi, Picasso, and many others are waiting for an explorer just like you!
If you are a lover of historic and contemporary design, plan a visit to Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. Among temporary exhibitions, you can see today the stunning collection of botanical forms and a very modern exhibition devoted to creative response to epidemics.
Go to an art gallery
New York is so rich in creative and thriving artists. Head to Williamsburg and explore the Galleries and art spaces together with your bae. We have a few picks to inspire you.
First, go to an artist-run REVERSE. This gallery is a perfect place to experience the artwork of emerging artists. The gallery also offers lectures and workshops and sells the artworks of some artists, so you can not only take a look at artwork but also purchase the things that you like.
Another place to go to is Figureworks. This art gallery promotes contemporary art and the art of the 20th century. All the exhibits are related to the beauty of the human form. You will find here works of artists from all over the world. If you are about to try yourself in art, visit one of their drawing classes on Saturday.
Art 101 is more than a traditional art gallery. It is a community that unites artists, patrons, and all art lovers of the city. Join the community for a music night or attend a romantic poetry reading. Here you can find the works of many talented artists, such as Robin Tost, Jennifer Baker, and Cynthia Wick.
Watch a movie in an independent theater
As a good dating idea in New York, why not enjoy something unusual? An independent film always goes beyond what we are used to watching on the screen. You can expect a breathtaking story with curious visuals and artwork. You won’t be bored and will definitely enjoy the brave nature of the director.
Enjoy an art class together
If you want not only passively enjoy art but try creating something yourself, plan a masterclass or a crash course in painting, ceramics, or sculpting. You don’t have to enroll in a lengthy course. For a date, it would be a lot more interesting to attend a class by a well-known local artist.
Try tipsy painting
A very cool option for a date is tipsy painting. It is a nice combination of a romantic evening and an art class. The trend is emerging in galleries around the country and can become your beloved event as well. The event includes both tasting delicious wine and creating artwork. Some of the events are BYOB, so make sure you check it beforehand and bring beverages yourself.
Have a drink in an artistic place
At the end of your date, choose an artistic place to have a glass of tasty wine in an exquisite atmosphere. We recommend Italian or French restaurants, such as Trattoria Dell’Arte or the Art Bar. In both places, you can enjoy both the environment of an artist’s studio and the dishes.
That’s it. And how would you spend an artistic date? Share with us below.
