DUMBO Arts Center

The DUMBO Arts Center hosts an open gallery event every first Thursday of the month. Many first Thursday's ago I was invited to check out the work of a friend showing there. It was my first time at the DAC but I was blown away by the quality of work.
I finally have a chance to present it to all y'all, and I'll do so without any commentary. Well I will just say that I was aesthetically drawn to this work on a visceral level and without outside information. So- without further adieu...

DUMBO flea market

After brunch with the most fabulous of foreign ladies, me, Rixa, Catherine, and Agathe traipsed on down to DUMBO from Williamsburg, which was easy because last weekend I had my parent's car!
The ladies knew of a cool flea market, which we scoured every booth and stand. There were some really great pieces, and baller furniture, of which I- of course- yearned to own, even though I have no where to put it and no money to buy it with.




I swear I also saw Marissa Tomei there. Maybe I imagined it, but it looked alot like her.

A friend for every color

It's like we're the Spice Girls... or something.
We all met up in DUMBO, went to this amazing flea market (more on that later) and passed by this cool mural. Photoshoot ensued...

Aparently all the colors are inspired by vegetables and fruits. It reminded me of Pantone colors.

You wish you were us.

Hidden Carousel

Some rich people have the strangest hobbies. Like restoring an old carousel and putting it inside a building in DUMBO. Bizzare, yet totally amazing.

DUMBO art

Spotted, under the ManHat bridge, is it Pantone art?

Graffiti on Jay street. Or is it "Street Art?"

New York Studio Program

So, for those of you who are , like myself, no longer in college , let me alert you to the fact that for many of those still in school, the semester is mostly over, if not completely. That means if you go to art school you've got to put on some sort of show. The New York Studio Program (A bunch of art school's from the country send their kids to DUMBO to play in their own private studio for a semester) was no different. Art galore!
