Donald Ryan Gallery is presenting a new exhibition of work by East Village painter Bill Rice (1932-2006), whose loft on Third Street was a gathering spot for artists, writers and filmmakers for decades.
Rice, active in downtown theater and experimental film, spent nearly half a century chronicling the neighborhood's quieter corners, everyday figures and solitary moments.
The show, running through Dec. 13, features paintings that capture Rice's intimate view of the East Village and includes archival images, such as a 1983 rooftop photo of Rice and Peter Hujar.
The gallery is at 15 E. 71st St., between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue (road trip!).
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
