A local filmmaker who found herself continually confronting narrow casting parameters in mainstream entertainment industry productions is asking her community for support in launching a web series that tackles subjects that, more often than not, don’t make it into silver screen and small screen narratives

There has been a rustling through town about this weekend’s openings: it seems everyone under the Bushwick sun will be at Lorimoto’s “Open Call” reception on Saturday, and in between shows at 56 Bogart plus another at the new Space776 location, a selection of artist talks are taking place this weekend as well

Did you know that when students have higher access to the arts they are three times more likely to win an award for school attendance; receive 96 more points on the SATS on average; are three times more likely to earn a Bachelor’s degree, and four times more likely to own a business than a high school dropout?

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

We hope you all caught some rays while chilling and enjoying the free day yesterday

While I am always waiting with bated breath for the weekend to awaken me from my weekly doldrums, I am especially antsy due to the upcoming deluge of amazing art openings happening in Bushwick this week and next! As with the first buds of spring popping up along Knickerbocker, many galleries lie in wait for the spring exhibition season to hit and they have brought the goods with them this time

To strangers who asked if we were mother and daughter I replied, “We are friends”

I find myself on a double narration as I tell my Bushbabies about the story of art ahead of us.
