The Starbucks store, located in a former art gallery on the corner of 26th Steet and 10th Avenue, celebrates art and its connection to the community. The new store features a rotating wall of curated works in collaboration with Uprise Art, an online gallery for emerging artists, to create a physical space where people can connect with new works of art. Through the program, customers will be able to purchase art showcased on the wall, with proceeds benefitting the artist and Free Arts, a local organization providing underserved children with educational arts and mentoring programs. "We retained the existing gallery shell and added a coffee bar and lounge-inspired seating …Chelsea is such an energizing place to be for artists and designers …we're excited to be a part of it," said Claudine Losato, director of store design for Starbucks. The store address is at 525 W 26th Ave., New York, NY
