Highly anticipated “urban tiki” destination Dromedary Bar officially opened last Friday, April 22nd, and Bushwick turned out to celebrate the new spot in remarkably high numbers

Bushwick may be an international art world hub, but one of the Silent Barn’s current exhibitions showcases talent that wasn’t flown in: the drawings, sculptures, photos and zines of local high school students who are a part of the Ridgewood Bushwick Youth Center art program Casa Experimental

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

We acquire our materials quite obviously in the same way we do our friends: by choice

Between Lay’s Sriracha chips (what), these adorable Sriracha2Go key chains and even Sriracha, the documentary – it’s safe to say this beloved hot sauce is here to stay

Halloween is another way of saying “All Hallows’ Eve” when legends, witches, ghosts and magic can lead to something evil, or fun

While last weekend’s round of season openings was one for the books –over 15 new shows in and around Bushwick (!) – this weekend will keep us just as busy

Sultry, raw, and influenced by blues and country, Joanna Levine’s voice is distinctive and incredibly powerful

We just posted the latest news on Bushwick’s favorite gallery hop and late night event – Beat Nite – which will include highlights from some of this week’s featured art openings

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

The first weekend of October was perfect for the return of Greenpoint Open Studios after a three year long break—a quintessential autumn weekend, the air was brisk, but the sun was shining

Starting tonight, Bushwick and its environs will be filled with a palpable art zeitgeist that will get you feeling feline-frisky! There’s a crisp feel to the air, the leaves are starting to changes, yet it is still warm enough to warrant a great gallery hop

It keeps eternal whisperings around     Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell     Gluts twice ten thousand Caverns, till the spell Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound

With art and creativity bursting from the seams in our neighborhood of Bushwick, finding something to do on a Friday night may seem a bit overwhelming

This week Bushwick will be hit by a slew of exciting new exhibitions all across the neighborhood, clearly rejoicing in the coming of crawl-worthy weather

  We know what you are thinking. It’s SXSW week and Brooklyn is going to be dead because all the good bands will be gone. FALSE. Some bands are coming here! And others are staying here because Brooklyn is also awesome! Don’t get down and out about it, there are plenty of DIY venues to […]

Seated by owner Giorgio Voglino at the bar, we took off our heavy coats welcoming the heat coming from an open oven in the back corner

I found out that a lot of Bushwick art people were going down to Miami last week, and I know this sounds crazy, but I felt like it was up to me to see that nothing bad happened to them

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

Speech is my hammer bang the world into shape now let it fall – HUH!  -Mos Def, “Hip Hop” (1999)

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
