Bushwick Daily editors Maria and Katarina have combined their most treasured moments of this year’s Bushwick Open Studios in a gorgeous photo essay! Relive them with us!

#1 NO BS BOS Guides lined up in Cheap Storage and all over the neighborhood

Get ’em while they’re hot! Our BOS cheat-sheet guides went fast all over the neighborhood.

#2 Trippy Mask at 17-17 Troutman Studio

One lucky visitor got to try on this lightweight, 3D printed, 2-way mirrored dog mask, then he proclaimed that he very much would like to try the mask on LSD. Seriously.

#4 Slonk Donkerson Performing at Pinebox Rock Shop

Friday night featured a free show from The Nuclears, Slonk Donkerson and Honduras at Pinebox. It rocked (literally)!

#5 Hippy Performed at a House Party

A raging house show on Evergreen Ave featured The Lemons and our personal faves, Hippy, who had the crowd dancing to their jangly songs.

Javelin took the whole park to funkytown at a free benefit for Ten Eyck Playground on Saturday afternoon’s free block party, which also featured the music of Slavic Soul Party and Los Hancheros.

#10 Bridging Bushwick at 195 Morgan (the Old 3rd Ward Space)

We caught an impromptu rap performance and speech from some Bushwick youths at the Bridging Bushwick panel. They had the whole crowd singing along to their catchy jingle “we’re so Brooklyn” while also confronting serious issues surrounding gentrification in the neighborhood.

#11 Shadow Monsters interactive video installation at 195 Morgan

#12 Crowds at Slideluck Bushwick

The crowd was massive and full of good vibes at the Slideluck Bushwick and Bushwick Daily party on Saturday night at sandbox studios. We awarded winners from our #BOShunt scavenger hunt contest then watched a slideshow of both Brooklyn and Baltimore artists.

#13 The Blue Byrds Party Bus in Industrial Bushwick

The Blue Byrds, a burning man party crew, parked two busses side by side in an industrial zone for an all-night dance party which included a DJ spinning atop the bus!

Dallas Athent, of Bushwick Daily fame, hosted a reading of our own Bushwick Nightz book of short stories. Four authors read their short stories to an enthusiastic crowd Sunday at The Active Space.

Best snack for fuel during BOS. Period.

#18 Julia Sinelnikova’s studio at 195 Morgan

Just turn off the lights and start dreaming and wishing there was a huge room full of these.

Artist and curator Julie Torres curated 1o curators from across the country who then curated their own shows presenting their favorite Bushwick artists. Here you’re looking at Peter Shear who curated works of Ellen Siebers, on the left.

#20 Dr Lisa awarded everyone for what they wished to be recognized for.
