Best Tours

PS1 in Queens did a GREAT art and architecture tour of the city a while back, guided by artists and architects who live here. It was definitely one of those insider's things to do, with a lot of off-beat destinations. Almost sure no one who took one of the tours was a tourist, though.
@Uraniumfish Is that something they do annually, do you know?
I placed a topic on this forum a while ago. Here it is:

I listed a number of tours available. Read the post. You may find tours that you like.
@NeverSleeps It was definitely a summertime activity, and I believe it was related to some festival or other they had. It would be worthwhile to check come springtime.
Just found their description of guided tours through the facilities, though. which are ongoing and also led by artists. Sounds pretty good:

Led by scholars and artists who have recently exhibited at the Museum, P.S.1's guided tours offer adult and school groups an introduction to cutting-edge contemporary art. Tour discussions focus on themes, techniques, and imagery of the art on view, as well as the personal perspective of lecturing artists.
Groups larger than 25 must be broken up into two. Tour rates are given to groups with a minimum of 10 people.
Adults: $13
Seniors: $11
Students (college and up): $11
Members: $10
