This past Sunday, the Arts Collateral took Lafayette residents for a free guided tour of the Guggenheim.  Works by Picasso, Monet, and Cezanne hung on the walls, but it was the special exhibits that really caught our attention.  The winner of the 2010 Hugo Boss Prize covered his entire space with 100,000 $1 bills while Lee Ufan’s site specific instillation combined nature with minimalist undertones.

And if you’re an art fan and couldn’t make our latest adventure, be on the lookout for more information regarding our October Pumpkin Painting Event.

This Saturday October 1st, come out with us to play the game of champions: ping pong at the club SPiN! SPiN is a modern hybrid that’s part table tennis court, part restaurant lounge, and (in the evenings) part club. Come get a look at NYC’s underground scene, where pros and rookies alike are welcomed!

Check out their website at: http://newyork.spingalactic.com/spingalactic/

Cost: $5 copay and BYO Metrocard (a steal considering renting a table costs $20 an hour!)
Time/Date: We will be leaving at 12:30 pm and play from 1 to 3 pm on Saturday October 1st
Meet: In the Lafayette Lobby at 12:30 pm
Sign up: Space is limited so be sure to sign up in the Resource Center asap!
