These Are The 20 Hottest Art World Hangouts Right Now

London's Sketch townhouse has five different themed spaces for dining, afternoon tea or drinks.

Just last month, one of the world's most recognized art dealers collaborated with one of New York City's most acclaimed chefs to open a restaurant in the basement of the former's flagship art gallery. At first glance, Larry Gagosian and Masa Takayama's upscale Japanese eatery Kappo Masa might seem like an unorthodox partnership, but it's just the latest example of the increasing number of overlaps between art and food.

These days, entire festivals — Life is Beautiful in Las Vegas comes to mind — are dedicated equal parts to art, music and food. Check out some of the country's most well known pop-up art exhibits and chances are they're catered by an impressive array of local chefs or restaurants. Art Frieze in New York this past spring featured the likes of Roberta's, Mission Cantina, Blue Bottle Coffee, Marlow & Sons, Frankies Spuntino and Momofuku Milk Bar.

But where are the world's artsy types heading during their downtime? Artnet recently published its list of the "20 hottest art world hangouts of 2014."
