In case you’re a goody goody who doesn’t go out on a school night, and thus you missed last night’s Bushwick Notebook Issue 2 launch party, do not despair — we’ve got you! As is becoming a good tradition, yesterday we rented a U-Haul van and distributed thousands of magazines throughout Bushwick

Spring is crisp and colorful

Give the best gift this Father’s Day with booze books

Aside from living in Bushwick, many of us commute to work in the city and to other parts of Brooklyn, spending large chunks of our day standing smashed up against a subway window, working for companies with strict deadlines that have us grinning with clenched teeth.  Now that I have you all riled up, allow me […]

400 artists; six walls; two rooms filled with their small works

Walking around Select Art Fair (all photos courtesy of Ventiko) Bushwick is proudly weird. And weird people keep weird pets. Whether it’s a large yellow python whose owner hangs him on a tree at St. Nicholas Ave, or a big cat on a leash that frequently hangs on Bogart St. A Bushwick artist named Ventiko is one of those proud, weird […]

From the near distance, Bushwick Open Studios 2015 approaches

Who has time to be superstitious this Friday? It’s all about Saint Valentine’s Eve on February 13th and there are a bunch of great art openings we cannot wait to get all doe-eyed over for the weekend

So snowmageddon 2015 didn’t happen, and you weren’t able to make your own Louise Bourgeois snow sculpture

While many of our artist friends are down in Miami for Art Basel – the coolest winter fair mixing sand, surf and art – it’s still an event-filled weekend for those who stayed behind in Bushwick. Warm back up with openings at Hood Gallery and Honey Ramka, plus artist talks at ODETTA Gallery and Momenta Art! #1 “MAKS” @ Hood Gallery (FRI 8-11 PM) […]

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

A lot of buzz has been building around the upcoming Exchange Rates, and it is finally here this week! The international expo is an entirely new model for Bushwick, bringing galleries from all over the country and the world to share in the artistic zeitgeist of Bushwick

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

Burning Man: the desert festival on the tip of everyone’s tongue in recent times. This past week I finally had a chance to visit the magical Black Rock City, which is erected and razed once a year for ten days in the Nevada Desert. The festival started as a small beachside bonfire in San Francisco in […]

As the Bushwick art scene rocks on with the summer tide, the current set suffuses beyond the industrial landscape and joins our neighbors across the H2O to the east. The Lower East side, vibing from the edge of the East Village to the corners of Chinatown, is a neighborhood we all know for its vibrant […]

It seems like there have been a lot of Gemini birthdays in Bushwick lately, and many more coming up! Some of the best qualities about these beautiful Air-sign babies is that they represent duality, are versatile, talkative, intellectual, and fun to be around. They provide great company and are lucky to be born in the budding […]

Bushwick Open Studios is here again! Were you entirely exhausted after last year’s—running in and out of every single studio, opening door after door until you felt like you were in an M

From winter wonderland to icy cold, to FML it’s fuhreezing, this week’s cold snap has been like that annoying houseguest that just won’t leave

2013 was a momentous year for art in Bushwick

While stories from the comedic to scandalous are whizzing around the art world a week after the Miami Art Basel Spring Break of the art world (and artists and gallerists alike continue to nurse epic hangovers), one would think that this would send the New York art world into a full-on art coma

Only three weeks in advance of one of the world’s largest contemporary art fairs, Bushwick-based nightlife and fashion icons Ms

This past Saturday and for the fourth year running, the Bushwick Block Party took over Morgantown’s Moore Street for a free afternoon and evening of music, skateboarding, dancing, food trucks, drinking and other sweaty fun

Sometimes by the time the end of the week rolls around, you want to get it

As I pointed out last week, sex and partying are important, but to really have a healthy emotional life, working hard and being productive is a key ingredient

Waiting for the holiday is a lot easier if you’re an art lover

One of my favorite holiday memories as a child was putting up the Halloween decorations

Ho Ho Ho, fellow Bushwickians! Have you noticed that your favorite deli is now selling winter season ales and Xmas trees?! What? Also your neighbor installed some furious winter decoration that won’t stop flickering and playing Jingle Bells tune 24/7?
