With video projections and paintings by 10 different NYC artists, music by NYC resident guru Brion Isaacs, and a solid group of NYC revelers, our annual summer party is taking off on the longest day of the year at the Chelsea Art Museum.

Founded in 2004, the Young Associates (YA) is a group of 20- and 30- somethings whose mission is to engage with New York’s contemporary art scene, in both social and educational ways. “We learn about art in the intimate atmosphere that is provided by a smaller museum.”

In collaboration with a network of museums and visual arts institutions both national and international, The Chelsea Art Museum seeks to present important, but relatively unexplored dimensions of 20th and 21st Century art, particularly focusing on artists that have been less exposed in the United States than in their home countries. The museum, a 30,000 sq foot renovated historic building in the heart of Chelsea, is located opposite the piers which served as entry for the arrival and assimilation of foreign cultures into New York. This location provides a powerful symbol of the museum’s mission: to be a meeting point, a destination for exhibitions and works from Europe, the Americas and Asia and returning CAM generated exhibitions to those partners both overseas and within the United States.
