If there is one weekend of the summer season you need to be physically present in Bushwick, it’s the first weekend of June, which traditionally belongs to the glorious neighborhood-wide celebration of art and community, festival Bushwick Open Studios organized by Arts in Bushwick. It is the time when hundreds of artists open their studios or homes, and invite us into their magical world; it is the time of the best parties and outdoor events, the time for Bushwick to shine and celebrate all that it stands for. So tell your sister she can get married on some other weekend, and dive into the creative, quirky, magical, thriving Bushwick.

Are you getting a serious case of FOMO because of the hundreds of events around you? Inhale, exhale, we got you. We broke down the Bushwick Open Studios area into five districts (East Willy, Morgan, Jefferson, Ridgewick, and JMZ) and hand-picked the most amazing things to see and attend along the way.

We even asked three local art experts for their recommendations and sprinkled them on top of this compact guide. Julie Torres (artist and curator); Christopher Stout (artist and founder of Bushwick Art Crit Group) as well as Jason Andrew (curator; co-founder of Norte Maar and co-owner at Outlet Fine Art gallery) all chipped in recommendations for your total enjoyment of this year’s Bushwick Open Studios! Every day this week we will publish a guide to one district so that you can take it all in and be just ready for BOS 2015!
