Ali & Hichaam Aboutaam

If you love to wander about art galleries then you should consider participating in this year’s upcoming third annual Madison Avenue Gallery Walk.  This event, which will be taking place on Saturday, May 15, 2010, is a benefit for The Fund for Public Schools, which will use the monies raised to promote and support art education in the New York City public school system.

Included among the 50 participating galleries is Phoenix Ancient Art, whose New York branch, located at 47 East 66th Street, is right smack in the middle of this year’s event.  Spanning the approximately one mile from East 57th Street to East 83rd Street, the Madison Avenue Gallery Walk will feature docent led tours of the galleries which will have speakers and programed discussions open to the public. Tours will take place every hour beginning at 11am, with the last tour scheduled to begin at 4pm.

There will also be a scavenger hunt in which families can compete in a fun way for 2 for the price of one discount tickets to the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Ali and Hicham Aboutaam, the brothers that preside over the Phoenix Ancient Art Gallery, are looking forward to a great day and hope to see you there.

Phoenix Ancient Art is a leading art dealership that specializes in the ancient world and antiquities that span cultures and centuries. Aside from the dealership, Phoenix Ancient Art holds public showings at its two galleries, featuring the most important and interesting pieces of art available to the public. Phoenix, and its two galleries, are under the proprietorship of  brothers Ali Aboutaam and Hicham Aboutaam, who took over the business from their father, both having made great strides in moving the business forward.

Situated in Geneva and New York, the two galleries that Phoenix Ancient Art maintains are prime venues for all – both the discerning art critique who understands antiquities and the ancient world, as well as the man off the street who desires to step into the ancient worlds and civilizations that preceded our modern era. Hicham and Ali continue the fine Aboutaam family tradition, maintaining impeccable art exhibits and constantly refreshing gallery displays, as well as a honest art dealership.
