Northside Open Studios: June 16 – 19th


In between the last post and now I quit my job, moved to the Lower East Side, had a magical lovely Greenpoint wedding, and busted my chops planning this four day art festival. I’ve certainly lost my blogging mojo as everything in life has been up in the air, twirled around and never quite settled to a smooth transition. I’ll be back on that track next week as I search for a soul and a job, revamp the blog, update all my lists, and maybe even pursue a website redesign.

Until then, indulge with me starting TODAY as Northside Open Studios launches with a panel discussion on art and real estate. FUN! Full press release and every single flier we’ve created below:

The main event of Northside Open Studios occurs June 18th & 19th where over 200 participating artists will be opening their studios to share their artistic practice, providing an in-depth and unique experience that incites dialogue and harvests community.

In addition to artists opening studios throughout Williamsburg and Greenpoint curators, organizations, and local businesses are hosting myriad exhibitions and events throughout the area. Whether it’s a show about hardware, a live mural painting on the street, an exhibition dedicated to Burt Reynolds or a Bikini Reading Series, there’s no telling what you’ll expect during this four day art extravaganza. Check our events page for more.

The NOS team has also produced four special events during each day of the festival including a panel discussion, a screening, a street festival, and a group exhibition of participating artists followed by a launch party. Each attached flier features our general flier and individual special event. The celebration will be non-stop so free up your calendar and join us!

NOS maps and programs will be available at our hub spaces and downloadable from our website.

Northside Open Studios: Meet & Greet: April 26th

I’ve spent the last month bustin’ my balls between moving apartments, planning  wedding that’s (gasp!) four weeks away, and organizing Northside Open Studios. I can barely keep my head on straight and won’t sleep right until all of this is over. There will no doubt be many fun moments to be had but honestly, producing events whether it’s a pie contest or a wedding ceremony is not easy, especially if you’re a pathetic procrastinator and don’t get no drive to do anything til the last minute. This must be stopped.

Without further ado, I am proud to present Northside Open Studios, a collaborative four day art event between Greenpoint Open Studios and L Magazine’s Northside Festival.

Registration is now open and we encourage artists working in all mediums to register online by May 15th. There is a Meet & Greet on April 26th 7:30pm at Brooklyn Brewery located at 79 North 11th Street and we will discuss registration, programming, and any questions you may have. It is very important that you join us in the meeting and get to know each other and learn about NOS over a complimentary free beer!

Please help us spread the word, our goal is to reach 300 participating artists who can take advantage of the 10,000 brochure copies that will be widely printed and distributed throghout brooklyn, not to mention a vast opportunity for viewership and attendance.

Follow us on twitter, like us on Facebook, and share the open call invite. Feel free to also post any announcements and listings on our page, whether it’s an upcoming show or an available studio down the hall
