Needing art so bad after the holidaze? We’ve been feeling the same

It’s that time of year when you’re trying extra hard to fit in an art exhibit between all the Christmas shopping, office parties and general holiday madness

With less than two weeks to go, it’s time to get serious about Halloween

CMJ festival is the music lover’s mid-fall holiday

The Rookery turns two on Saturday, while kickass DJ Emily O’Brien spins until midnight

Oi, we’ve got the August blues

Who says Bushwick Open Studios is an exclusive affair? Last weekend, Ridgewood artists showcased their studios with the best of ’em and pretty much turned it out

Maybe it’s the promise of a female president or a little princess across the pond, but this weekend’s shows are definitely for the ladies

Calling all Khaleesis and Wildlings! A three-eyed raven is flying into Bushwick! Well, not literally, because that would simply be amazing (also the sign of the apocalypse??)

Turn up the lights in here, baby, extra bright y’all need to read this

Since 2009 a gallery-going adventure has occurred across the neighborhood, it’s organizer, Jason Andrew, artist and director of the collaborative arts non-profit Norte Maar, leading the way

The frost bite obtained from running around to last weekend’s back-to-back openings wasn’t so bad

Consider a typical day in our neighborhood: there is always something happening, something new, something changing

Instagram Takeover – Ariel Churnin – Fall foliage, tree, changing colors Rough winter winds and the lack of sunshine are conducive to start feeling blue. And even Bushwick, an old good friend who was highfiving us all summer is suddenly all grey and cold. But Bushwick, you can’t fool us, there’s so much to appreciate you! Just […]

It’s the time to bow to the Great Pumpkin, the magical goddess of the fall! Get ready for pumpkin carving, pumpkin ale, and pretty much everything else tasting, smelling or looking like pumpkins

CMJ festival frenzy has taken over the NYC’s music scene, however one Bushwick music venue has not been able to host live music due to a temporary restraining order issued by the court

CMJ only seems like a drag if a) you’re in a band that’s playing 3+ shows; b) you don’t know how to navigate the madness

We’ve got 10 intimate, close nit shows in this week’s round up

We hope you are all as jazzed about CMJ as we are! The festival is the College Music Journal’s “Music Marathon”- a completely amazing (and exhausting) week (October 21-25, 2014) of live music, giving the music community a chance to catch the best new artists from around the world before they blow up

If you were looking for a theme, you won’t find one here. This weekend’s art openings are all over the place, and the artists come from all over too. Microscope’s Allison Somers is in town from Paris, Fine & Raw showcases Berlin-based artist Jerry Kowalsky and Outlet brings us Cristin Richard in from Detroit. Some artists take on loss, desire, accident, intent, others […]

Even if you’re never really trying to look your “best,” you’re most likely trying to look something if you live in Brooklyn in this day and age

Heading in to watch the final dress rehearsal before the opening of Emily Dickinson OUTER SPACE at The Bushwick Starr, I am gleefully informed by Noel Allain, the theater’s artistic director, that they are making some “adjustments” to the staging of the show

While in the dog days of summer it’s tempting to feel incredibly burned out by sun, booze, and an overload of summer shows, think back. Way back. To 2005 in fact. When you belted out All American Rejects lyrics guilt free in the shower. When Tyson Ritter told you to move along, you jumped. For Fun. For Freedom. To […]

Bushwick galleries are kicking up the pace as we enter into the mid-summer scape. While the rest of the art world may be on vacation (oh we’re not jealous of the sand, surf and sun they’re experiencing—okay maybe we are…) we are experiencing more commotion from the current set. Bushwick’s summer kids are in a sort of microcosm—a […]

[contextly_auto_sidebar id=”dN8fROFYJAemosL3KkZKvVIwUAfhxNWH”] While there are still ridiculously cold days, we can all be thankful that spring is (mostly) here and finally we can party outdoors… or continue to hang indoors, thankful we can do so without giant coats.  We can potentially start our hangouts earlier and possibly outdoors, and maybe even have a backyard BBQ. […]

Yesterday it was announced that Pearl Paint shuttered its doors

Around 100 Bushwick residents gathered around apartment buildings where long-term residents have been complaining about landlord harassment and rallied in defense of their tenants rights on Sunday April 6, 2014

Spring has sprung, and like in the movie Shawshank Redemption, we are free (and doused by a lot of rain this week)! Let’s make the most of it. There are a myriad of places to keep you in budget, buzzed, and get that little cardio going to help with the winter bulge. Here are you top […]

I find myself on a double narration as I tell my Bushbabies about the story of art ahead of us. From works inspired by the famous musings of authors James Joyce and Dylan Thomas, to pieces that draw literary connections from personal histories and present happenings. You’ll drift off to your dreams as I read […]

A massive search has been underway for the last few days, since the mysterious disappearance of James (Jay) Ott, 31, a New York clothing designer

SXSW may be fading into our rearview mirror but the hangover that came along with it isn’t

Beat Nite 10 boasted an artful evening any art lover would envy

So, the Olympics are over, with the USA ranking 4th in over all medals, but first in Gold medal pranks with another gem from Jimmy Kimmel

This week’s Listening Party features dream pop drippers The Stargazer Lillies
