Ok, so there might still be snow on the ground and it’s hard to remember what trees actually look like with leaves, but the first intimations of warmer days are upon us

Each week Bushwick Daily brings you a new Artist FlashCard introducing an amazing artist living/working/showing in Bushwick who you need to know.

While Bushwick Open Studios, and its mammoth showcase of more than 600 different gallery exhibitions, is usually what most people associate Arts in Bushwick with, the 10-person Community Projects arm of the group has quietly been developing programs and building partnerships with local organizations throughout the neighborhood, all in the aim of supporting the group’s larger mission of serving as a platform for creative accessibility

… it’s HERE! #BushwickOpenStudios kicks off today with a fantastic line-up of events. Officially on the books is our AiB Fellows Show Opening, the annual Seeking Space exhibition, and the BOS 2014 Launch Party! Additionally, there are as many openings, galleries, and parties as your feet can carry you to. If you are overwhelmed by the […]

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:

Arts in Bushwick 2014 Benefit at Storefront Ten Eyck; photo by Diego Gil How the time flies! It’s already halfway through May, meaning that #BOS2014 is just around the corner! If you haven’t peeked out the window yet, it appears we are looking at a fairly soggy Friday. It’s calling for a 100% chance of rain […]

Editor’s note: Brunch and art are two of the things that Bushwick does best, and this weekend, we think you should earn your eggs ‘n mimosas by getting some culture first! Our lovely arts writer, Danielle Kalamaras, give us an example of a perfect weekend outing, Bushwick style! So tomorrow, sleep in, relax, and eat your art out!

Feel the need to confer on the topic of pay for your artistic labours? This Sunday’s Arts in Bushwick Panel Discussion at Radio Bushwick from 5-6PM will converse on owing up in the art world and address the issue of unpaid arts labour

All photos by Lucia Reed for Bushwick Daily On a recent rainy Sunday, I bundled up and hustled across Bushwick. I was coming from a meeting with the owner of Bootleg Bar, which just opened up on Myrtle and Bleeker, and I was rushing to a panel on affordable housing being held at Radio Bushwick. […]

It’s kind of difficult to think about June right now, but for Julia Sinelnikova and the rest of the Arts in Bushwick (AiB) crew, it’s all that’s on their minds

I was reminiscing on my favorite poem earlier this week—Robert Frost’s Birches, in which he claims, “I’d like to get away from earth awhile, and then come back to it and begin over… Earth’s the right place for love: I don’t know where it’s likely to go better.” And with Valentine’s Day coming up, my […]

Its expanding metamorphosis in painting, sculpture, sound, video, and installation no longer gives distance for quiet contemplation and instead demands justification on its own terms. Trending this January in the Bushwick scene is art […]

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

Historically, there has been a distinct separation between media and genres of art – the beaux arts tradition imported from the Grande Academie of Paris, from which American art institutions were derived, maintained clear boundaries between the plastic, performing, and literary arts – whoa, I’ll stop there before I go off on an art historical tangent! While these boundaries have been questioned, challenged and straight up abolished during multiple decades and artistic movements, no better example of the line being blurred could be found than in Bushwick’s art events this week

Ahhh! Friday is here and what better way to enjoy the rainy weather then to curl up with your computer and catch up on the haps and anything you missed during last weekend’s BOS festivities

We all remember the joy (and sometimes dread) that came with high school yearbook superlatives

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

Bushwick Open Studios is happening again this year and it feels even more real with the directory of 569 registrants which just went live! You can browse this historically highest number of the registered shows (551 in 2012) as long as you want to, check out your listings, the listings of your friends, conspire, plan, and start getting really excited!!!

Arts in Bushwick is back, with this week’s roundup of news from our blog, including more than a few personal stories of labor and love: Blogger Anne Vieux interviews the directors of Signal Gallery about their current show (Aakash Nihalani’s ISLANDS) and the evolution of Signal Space.  The story of this gallery’s founding is more […]

Happy HAPPY Friday!!!  Here are the highlights of this weeks happenings from the Arts in Bushwick blog!

OMG!  OMG!  So much happened in Bushwick this week

As you might remember, Arts in Bushwick (that egalitarian organization Bushwick Daily profiled last week) launched their new year-round blog a few weeks ago

A weekend-long annual celebration of the neighborhood’s unbounded creativity, festival Bushwick Open Studios is coming to its 7th year
