Get ready for a star-spangled weekend with American pride, red and white stripes, blue stars and what else– Bushwick art of course! It’s hot out here and that doesn’t refer to weather

On Friday evening a band of Bushwick artists wearing nothing but underwear and leotards gathered in front of the Lincoln Center in Manhattan and for three hours unfurled a guerilla-style conceptual-dance that gathered crowds and polarized even hardened New Yorkers

The title says it all

Secret Project Robot is not a gigantic warehouse that you might imagine to find in other parts of Bushwick, but rather a modest, bar-equipped and almost cozy venue

Have you ever felt, while slouched on your bed with your more skillful hand down your pj’s, that the porn you are watching deserves a festival?

In case you were unaware of this gem, David Bowie and Mick Jagger covered “Dancing in the Streets,” back in their hay day, and it seems pretty representative of what everyone should do this weekend

Now that spring has finally sprung, and there has not been a snow sighting in weeks (keep your fingers crossed), it’s time to celebrate this remarkable occasion of fresh sunshine air with crop tops, cut offs and of course, a weekend packed with a diverse line-up of art events

This past Monday night NURTUREart held their annual benefit, where a varied mix of painting, sculpture, collage and drawings covered the walls, and collectors and critics mixed with teenagers with art school ambitions

I intended to casually stroll through Mary Meyer and Friends Vintage boutique, but I immediately found myself obsessively trying on and photographing everything for you

If there’s one thing I’ve learned while living in Bushwick it’s that the best parties and venues are often found by word of mouth

Two ideas were organically integrated into nearly every discussion during the citydrift panel discussions over the weekend

It seems like the spring has reached our beloved pigeon town prematurely; and even though it might feel confusing at times (“are we reading and baking cookies or are we partying and celebrating spring?”), it doesn’t really feel bad
