This Saturday marks the year’s longest day which means we should all take advantage of the long days and warm nights to get out and about this weekend! As is usually the case during these high summer weeks, galleries are getting creative and taking chances, and experimenting with new and exciting curatorial decisions and venues

Throwing your persone in the vortex called Bushwick Open Studios frequently comes with a creeping yet steady anxiety of missing the best spectacle of your life happening perhaps just next door

It’s crazy making time again! As I’m writing this column to you now, I realize I am sublimating my own anxiety about the coming weekend that I also am personally invested in

Have you heard? #BOS2014 is right around the corner! It’s the chatter on the street, the Facebook invites, and the bustling in your neighbors studio; these are the sounds of hundreds of artists, curators, and organizers preparing to throw New York City’s largest open studio event! Look forward to 600+  artist studios open to the public, free live music, performance art showcases, panel discussions, outdoor festivals, and so much more! As those involved in the planning process will be spending the long weekend dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s, hopefully some of you will have time to relax and check out some of our best recent stories:

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

It doesn’t matter if you have two left feet or if your white bellbottomed jumpsuit is stuck at the cleaners – you’ll still be able to get into the groove at the Thrift Disco

Fiber arts have risen to prominence in recent years, especially with artists who consider textiles in their work such as Ghada Amer and El Anatsui

Whatever it is that you’ve been staring at– the gray slush, an excel spreadsheet, your cat, a brick wall–we recommend you take a break from it this weekend and get something beautiful before your eyes

Ah yes, the Ides of December

For three weeks, Performa biennially organizes more than 100 separate performance art events, presented at over 40 venues across New York City

We are currently experiencing what I would like to call the Bushwick Art Bubble: an ever expanding, effervescent orb that continues to cover more volume and space

Last week several Bushwick galleries packed up and took the show on the road across the pond to London for the third annual Sluice Art Fair

This weekend’s art events offer a little something for everyone

Whether you are aspiring to become a professional photographer or just addicted to Instagram, we highly recommend you make the trek out to Brooklyn Bridge Park this next week to check out the second annual Photoville

Still reeling from the craziness that was Bushwick Open Studios, our community has settled down (slightly)

NURTUREart began by putting on shows in borrowed space – empty Lower East Side storefronts, the corporate lobby of Citibank, the United Nations

Sunshine, friends, bikes, trucks, lots of booze and art everywhere! Bushwick Open Studios weekend might easily be proclaimed as the time of the year to spend out in the open

Before Bushwick had New York Times write-ups and citywide acclaim for its art scene, it was a silent, sleeping hub of creative ingenuity

It was bitter sweet to hear that Deborah Brown will be closing the little space on Wilson Avenue that has been a home to Storefront Bushwick for over three years

Can we all agree that these warmly fresh days are the best time of the year? Let’s enjoy it out in the open air with friends, beer, and good literature and music

“You always have to go bigger,” said artist and cultural entrepreneur Peter Hopkins, announcing his exciting plans to turn the empty warehouse at 299 Meserole St into a cultural center of the East Williamsburg and Bushwick area
