This weekend, Bushwick will be wrapping up the summer season by celebrating the community the best way it knows how- through art. The 13th annual Bushwick Open Studios (BOS) starts this Friday, September 20 and will run through Sunday, September 22. Hosted and organized by Arts in Bushwick, one of the neighborhood’s first  art collectives, BOS weekend spotlights local artists and makers, giving them the chance to be seen by those outside of the community art scene. 

Over the years, Arts in Bushwick has evolved into a collective that focuses on integrating the renowned art scene with the people of the neighborhood. “Bushwick isn’t just an arts community, it’s a community,” they told Bushwick Daily. “Our goal is to create visibility and provide opportunities for artists in the neighborhood without hierarchy.”

This year, Arts and Bushwick has developed an all inclusive map of studios, shops, and eateries that will be participating in BOS. A limited edition map and guide will be sold at select locations around the neighborhood. You can also download a PDF version here.
