Only in New York are we lucky enough to sort through bushels of free shows each weekend

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:
