Atlantic Avenue businesses are celebrating local artists during Brooklyn's popular Atlantic Avenue ArtWalk. Returning for nine straight days, including two weekends, this year's Atlantic Avenue ArtWalk will be a 1.5-mile, self-guided tour showcasing approximately 100 emerging and established Brooklyn artists at more than 50 participating shops, galleries, salons, restaurants, and businesses.
From Saturday, May 4 through Sunday, May 12, each day from noon to 6 p.m., attendees can tour along Atlantic Avenue from Fourth Avenue to the Waterfront and view a variety of locally-created art. ArtWalk is free and open to the public rain or shine.
This year’s special activities include a Curator’s Tour with Why Not Art curator, Grace Freedman, who will lead a lively walking tour on Saturday, May 4. Meet artists; check out gallery presentations and experience special exhibits on the Avenue. This requires an RSVP on eventbrite.
Take part in a live painting with artists Dan Peterson and Ibou N’doye, outside along Atlantic Avenue, weather permitting, with inside demonstration by the Brooklyn Watercolor Society at their pop-up gallery space.
