“The Streets of Chelsea” art show is both a documentation of the continuously evolving neighborhood captured during the COVID-19 pandemic and a series of portraits of Leslie Fratkin’s Chelsea neighbors. The collection, made up of 37 black-and-white images, reflects Fratkin’s drive to seek out people and places not posed or arranged. 

“The Streets of Chelsea” can be found both inside the main concourse under the archway and on the outdoor dining structure of Chelsea Market on 15th Street. Leslie Fratkin: The Street of Chelsea will hold an opening reception on Thursday, September 9, 2021, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Avenue, NYC.
