Passport to the Arts is a celebration of the New York art scene – a self-guided gallery walk through premier art destinations in Chelsea and Soho. Guests are given a special passport, which is stamped with artist-created designs to mark each stop on the gallery tour. The day culminates in a gala cocktail party and silent auction benefiting a local charity, where guests are given the opportunity to bid on original pieces of art.

Passport to the Arts is made possible with the support of event sponsors, who contribute to the spirit of the occasion with custom giveaways and additional opportunities throughout the day and evening. The 7th annual Passport to the Arts will take place in New York on November 12, 2011.
