Insider's Guide to the New York Art World

Have you ever wondered how to get into the art world in New York? Well, unless you know someone, or have parents who know someone, it takes the right mix of hard work, low-paid positions and genuine love and investment in the artists you are working with.

Williamsburg-based Anneliis Beadnell has all of the above in droves, and we went to visit her at the beautiful P.P.O.W. Gallery in Chelsea, where she has been the Associate Director for 2 years.

Anneliis, an affecting 30-year-old who passionately talks about the artists P.P.O.W. represents, is the antitheses of the Gallery Girls set—in the best way possible.

Read more from The Drift's conversation with Anneliis as she drops some knowledge on how she got where she is today and her favorite haunts around Gotham.

Runway Trend: Chroma-Coats

As New Yorkers, it's hard to imagine a winter spent in anything other than black. Afterall, the slush, dirty snow, cramped subway cars, and other recipes for messes make it hard to maintain anything brighter than charcoal. But when the majority of designers showed colorful outerwear, it was hard to not take notice of what is definitely a major trend.

Take a Break From The New Arcade Fire Album and Listen to This

We love us some sexy time music at The Drift, especially if it's from Blood Orange.

The multi-talented Dev Hynes, also known as Blood Orange, is releasing his newest album, Cupid Deluxe, soon, and gave us a sneak peek with the Adam Brainbridge-directed Chamakay.

Another reason we love this song? Our girl crush, Caroline Polachek from Brooklyn-based Chairlift performs the female vocals in this infectious track that will make you feel like you are in a sexy smoke lounge even though you may be sitting at your desk.

We recommend you listen to it, smoke a cigarette, then repeat.
