Exhibition: Bushwick Open Studies
Venue: Bushwick, NY
Artists: Various Artists
Dates: September 28-30
The non-profit organization Art in Bushwick will once again host the annual Bushwick Open Studios festival (BOS) on September 28-30th. During the last weekend of September, many Brooklyn-based artists will open their studios for the public to view throughout the day, followed by night events and group shows. The Bushwick Open Studios festival also hosts performances and panel discussions with local cultural institutions.
II.
Event: Dîner en Blanc NYC
Dates:Monday, September 17th
It may not be an art show, but this unique and exclusive event is definitely a unique visual experience. The New York white dinner, inspired by the French dinner party, happens one night every summer and is considered to be one of the most elegant and massive events in the city. The event usually attracts thousands of people to a secret outdoors location that is revealed at the very last minute, only for people who registered in advance. It’s important to note that everything in the event, from tables to chairs, is BYO (Bring Your Own) and everything, of course, needs to be in white. The delicious picnic basket, however, is curated by Renowned chef and Michelin Star recipient Marc Forgione.
III.
Exhibition: Photoville
Venue: Brooklyn Bridge Park
Artists: Various Artists
Dates: September 13-17 & 20-23, 2018
If your interested in photography, don’t miss Photoville, an annual festival which displays a diverse variety of cross-section photography from all over the world. Photoville takes place in Brooklyn Bridge Plaza, located in DUMBO, right beneath the span of the bridge. The shipping containers in the venue will be transformed into art galleries for a week, showcasing over 600 visual artists. During the evenings, the festival offers nighttime projection programs, workshops, panel discussions and talks. This family-friendly festival also, of course, hosts a range of food vendors and a beergarden.
