Top Proposal Spots in NYC for Artsy Couples

Congrats on taking the next equally important step: researching before the big question. Your proposal's location needs to be meticulously thought of and planned, you know, aside from the heartfelt speech. Your chosen location will be something you'll be looking back on for years after the engagement. Show the world your relationship through art! New York City is, for sure, a thriving place for creatives.

If you and your partner love art exhibits and have an eye for art, these NYC locations might be the perfect match!

303 Gallery

The gallery's name references Alfred Stieglitz's "Intimate Gallery" artists-collaborative. The renowned artist collective was formerly housed in Room 303 of the Anderson Galleries building. To make the most of this artistic experience, check out their website and Instagram to catch your favorite artist's exhibit! Since it's a local art gallery, try and see if they ever host private openings where you can spend time alone as a couple.

The Museum of Modern Art

You can find Modern artists like Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Warhol. It houses a collection of nearly 200,000 pieces, so make sure to choose your favorite art piece and study the MoMA map! Your engagement proposal is going to be full of colors, style, and personality. Proposing in front of a piece of artwork is always such a lovely idea! Before choosing the artwork, reflect if there's a particular romantic history tied to the piece, or if you and your lover have any personal connection to the piece.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Who doesn't love the famous Met stairs from Gossip Girl? You can watch as art comes alive in its exhibitions and events! Prominent lawyer John Jay founded the Metropolitan Museum of Art. From the Paleolithic Period to medieval armor to Eric Clapton’s guitars, The Met is full of treasures! If you and your boo love cuddling up to documentaries at home, this is your chance to see it up close and personal. It's the best way to incorporate your personality and interests into your proposal.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Modern and contemporary paintings and sculptures are on display at the Guggenheim. Frank Lloyd Wright's museum has the illusion of a white ribbon wrapped into a cylinder stack that spirals upward and gets gradually broader as it gets closer to the glass roof. If you're the type of couple who stops to appreciate buildings and loves avant-garde art, this might be the spot for you! This "archeseum" has plenty of events and activities regularly so be sure to check that out when planning your dream proposal.

We all know and believe that art is good for you. For the same reason that we bond with others, we nurture our relationships with art in order to feel more fully human. Fall in love with art while you fall even deeper in love with the person you're about to get hitched to! Museums and galleries carry so much history and treasures in them, just like how you worked on your relationship for months and years.
