Although we do not encourage the use of illegal drugs, sometimes mistakes happen and things slip under your tongue. If that mistake coincides with this Bushwick Open Studios weekend then make sure to read this guide before the letters start moving and crawling on your skin like bugs. Enjoy the ride!

Eileen Weitzman @ 56 Bogart #4J (FRI 2-9PM, SAT-SUN 12-7PM)

If you believe that you are being chased by video game monsters or that Bushwick looks like the Super Mario world, you are either tripping hard or you are visiting this studio.
Travis Poston @ 138 Manhattan Ave, #2 (SAT-SUN 12-7PM)
Shapes moving erratically in space, creating psychedelic paintings out of acrylic paint, oil based paint pens, and ink on plywood and canvas. Follow this artist on the colorful paths he has made with his shapes.
Sisterjam.org @ Publishing House, 74 Cornelia St (SAT 12-7PM)
The building previously known as the infamous Trip House offers multiple floors of psychedelia and surprises in every room. Lose yourself in a maze of trippiness.
Zoo Time @ 405 Johnson Ave (SAT-SUN 12-7PM)
How can you pass on the psychedelic deceptive fantasy cave of Kae Burke’s design? How can you not wander through the visual mind of Mae Be? How could you not interact with Jamie Neumann’s choreography? The answer is in the glitter animals.
Lisa Levy & Phil Buehler @ 56 Bogart (FRI-SAT 12-7PM, SUN 12-6PM)
Have you always wanted but were afraid to ask? Now you can meet our famous advice columnist and a self-proclaimed psychotherapist, Dr. Lisa in person, and ask her about all your problems! Dr. Lisa will be showing her text based paintings of “The Thoughts in My Head.” Ego Evaluation charts and “Say it With”… Emotion Condoms will be for sale. Her husband Phil just finished a 10-year long project about folksinger/songwriter/activist Woody Guthrie’s last years at Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital, and will be showing a mock up of the book.
