Arts & Crafts
Although Manhattan is known as a hub of artistic life, it is sometimes hard to find a tranquil space in which to create within its accelerated, consuming energy and immense towers of professionalism. Quietly tucked into the side streets are a group of serene enclaves where anyone may sit down, surround themselves with beautiful artwork, and craft freely. These places offer a rare recess from the anxieties and pressures of everyday life through one of the most universal forms of rejuvenation: Art. These locations welcome people of all ages, skill levels, and professional spheres into communities united simply by the desire to create. No matter what kind of craft an artist finds pleasure in, there is something for everyone on the side streets.
