From the Guggenheim Museum Web site:
Tuesday, June 9: One day a year, for the past 31 years, nine of the country's finest museums on Fifth Avenue have collectively opened their doors to New Yorkers and visitors for a free mile-long block party and visual art celebration. This traffic-free, music- and art-filled celebration fills the street and sidewalks of Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th Street, the strech of pavement now officially designated as Museum Mile. Over 50,000 visitors attend this festival annually. This year's festival kicks off at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum with an opening ceremony, at 5:45 p.m., on the steps of its landmark building on Fifth Avenue at 89th Street. The festival will run from 6 to 9 p.m. that evening.

Well I know what I'll be doing after work tomorrow night. Please don't rain, please don't rain. It won't keep me from seeing free art, I tell ya.

"Through art alone are we able to emerge from ourselves, to know what another person sees of a universe which is not the same as our own."-Marcel Proust
