On the night of Saturday, March 8 all of Bushwick will celebrate as Armory Arts Week suffuses throughout the city and into our artsy enclave. This year John Silvis and Jason Andrew of OUTLET Fine Art have teamed up to charter the first ever bus tour that will bring the Armory-going Manhattanites across the river for the Bushwick/Ridgewood Gallery Tour and Late Night event.

The bus tour originates at The Armory Show across from the piers at West 54th Street and 12th Avenue (Northeast corner) and is anticipated to reach its first stop at TRANSFER at 5:45 pm. Passengers can hop off at any stop from point A to M, and then conquer the rest of the map by foot  (RSVP to outletfineartATgmail.com to join at the tour's origin).

For John Silvis and Jason Andrew this kind of event has been a long time coming and brings with it a neighborhood-wide excitement as all of the galleries included on the tour contributed to its making. Included in the tour are a slew of galleries, including these openings that you won't want to miss!

The opening of Internet of My Dreams, a solo exhibition from Anthony Antonellis, will mark the one year anniversary of TRANSFER Gallery—what better way to kick off Armory Late Night in Bushwick! (bus stops here at 5:45 pm, opening party begins at 7 pm)

Challenge your brainwaves with this unique series of digital images based on brainwave recordings taken from within a dream. In pure, digital wanderlust, Antonellis shows us both the conscious and unconscious within a set of paintings and moving images.

In crossing categorical boundaries through material and absurdist content, these artists are essentially creating the visual equivalent of what goes into the delivery of everyday humor.

#3 IN PASSING @ The Living Gallery (6 PM – Midnight)

IN PASSING is a one-night event curated by Lauren Wolchik, featuring a film selection by Sara'o Bery. Additional works and films will be on display, accompanied by performances from Butterfly Tree, DonChristian featuring Rahel, Sidney Russell, and Urban Matter.
