Aah yes, Bushwick summer – a time where
, rooftop barbecues, and open fire hydrants abound. Despite all of its charms, we all know it’s sometimes vital to get out of dodge. While many of the Bushwick galleries are closing down for the summer months, festivals, special exhibitions, and performances are cropping up everywhere from upstate New York to Staten Island. From a short ride by car, train, or ferry, you can come across a whole new way to experience art and the environment in which it is. This weekend marks the kickoff of many summer-long exhibitions which are sure to give you a great excuse every weekend to skip town!
