| | Debbie Wells of Artful Buzz & Karyn Blasi are delighted to invite you to an extraordinary cultural experience this September—an exclusive guided tour of Printemps, the French luxury department store with a dazzling new location in a historic landmark building in the financial district of NYC. This artful destination offers an experience far more than shopping—it’s a journey where Parisian elegance meets New York sophistication, celebrated through architecture, art, and design. | | |
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
-
AN ARCHITECTUAL GEM - Learn how award-winning Parisian architect Laura Gonzalez infused Printemps with her signature warm and maximalist style. She says "We drew inspiration from the heritage of Printemps, but this is NYC and NYC is very special because there are no boundaries here."
-
THE RED ROOM IS AN ART DECO TREASURE - Step inside the breathtaking Red Room with its 33-foot ceiling covered with over the red and gold mosaic design by Hildreth Meière in 1931. See how Printemps took this Art Deco masterpiece into a showcase for their designer shoe collection. Complementing the room are Maarten Vrolijk’s delicate glass Sakura vessels.
-
MORE CURATED SPACE FULL OF WONDER - Every floor reveals new layers of art, design, and unexpected creativity. Whether emerging or established, each participating artist adds a distinctly fresh perspective and unique flair to Printemps. It's always inspiring to see a new rotating display of art on every visit. Current highlights include: Todd Merrill Studio's works in the French Apartment and Teemu Salonen’s floral sculptures in the Salon.

Start planning to join Artful Buzz for our popular In-Person NYC Gallery Hops! Nothing is more rewarding than strolling though the NYC art gallery scene. It's educational, social and a very "New York" thing to do. Going with a guide (like me!) allows you to understand what the art gallery world has to offer while I share my knowledge, research and connections with the group.
I scout out the best art on view in the city and create a walkable itinerary of ever-changing exhibitions in several art districts: Chelsea, Madison Ave. 57th Street, Tribeca, etc. It's an easy-to-navigate gallery hop of approximately 6-8 galleries within a two hour session. Bond with friends old and new while we enthusiastically explore the NYC art scene together. With my artful expertise and a stellar "behind the scenes" professional network, my original itineraries are always an elevated artful experience.
