Coming up Saturday, May 16th, is the Madison Avenue Gallery Walk. From 11 am to 6 pm, approximately 50 galleries on Madison Avenue between 57th and 86th Street will open their doors to raise funds for arts education in New York City public schools.

The sprawling, day-long event will include free guided gallery tours conducted New York City public school art teachers, and a silent auction of notable works donated by participating galleries.

Pictured is the Whitney Museum where, if you complete a family-friendly scavenger hunt, you can get 2 for 1 admission.

The Madison Avenue Gallery Walk is sponsored by HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and New York magazine, and benefits the Fund for Public Schools.
