How I did it: As a frequent museum visitor, I decided I should also visit galleries. So, I made this a goal and decided to find some galleries to visit. Living in the New York area, there are many galleries to visit, so this was easy on me. I also found galleries to visit while on vacations.
Lessons & tips: It's not only the number of galleries you visit, but the shows you visit. Keep in mind that many galleries change their exhibits, so it's worth revisiting galleries when there's a good show.
A gallery visit doesn't need to be planned. If you happen upon a gallery, take a look inside!
