For the first time in several years, the L train was up and running to Bushwick, Brooklyn’s 6th annual Open Studios program!

This past weekend, over 500 artists opened their studio doors to celebrate Bushwick’s thriving art community and encourage the sharing of art and dialogue.

In collaboration with Bushwick Open Studios, Truck Yeah, a hub for all varieties of mobile cultures, also brought their creations to the neighborhood.

Lining the streets, trucks filled with unique forms of art displayed their fascinating galleries-on-the-go!

With all the exciting art to explore, join Jen on a wonderful tour of the studios, showcasing the talented artwork, with commentary from nAscent’s own Alexandra Pacula:

Stay tuned next week for another episode of Art Seen and get the inside scoop on New York City’s world of art!

Ok, it’s not an actual pizza party, but it sure looks like a lot of fun!

The show’s press release says, “it’s fun! It’s entertaining, quirky, smart and dumb at the same time…” Which makes me want to go check it out this Saturday at the Active Space in Bushwick Brooklyn.

So if it’s not a pizza party, then what is it?

Vegan Pizza Party is a celebration of new media. In this show 9 artists explore a new term which they call “New Aesthetic” which refers to the increasing appearance of the visual language of digital technology and the Internet in the physical world. These artists aren’t the first to bring the “New Asthetic” to light. In fact, South by Southwest and Wired Magazine are talking about the “New Asthetic” too!

If you want to learn a little more about new media and the “New Aesthetic” or if you’re just looking for a good time on Saturday night, check out Vegan Pizza Party. The artists are exploring a new concept without taking themselves to seriously and are promising fun for all!

The show runs for one weekend only in conjunction with Buswick Open Studios, but I recommend checking out the opening for what’s sure to be a par-tay!
