Green Rhino is a photo lab on McKibbin St. between Bushwick Ave. and White St. We recently relocated to Bushwick from Manhattan and we have a large open space available for artists to show their work. I’d love to hear from you.

The Bushwick Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library is located at 340 Bushwick Ave and would love to have artists use our space during BOS ‘09! We are home of the newish but already beloved ‘Bushwick Reading Series’ and hosted ‘Past Present and Future of Food in Bushwick’ as part of the SITE festival. We have a big and ‘bunkeresque’ space in our basement, complete with a somewhat elevated stage. The ground floor is sunny and spacious = a good room to set up gallery walls.

I am the owner of the mudpit a full ceramic teaching/working/showing facility. I have a big space and a backyard. Contact me if you want to work with me on showing your work/ your friends work/ your cat/dogs work.
Palmetto AIR will host a video art show Sat 6/6, we are looking for video art to show. Work should be on a DVD and no longer that 7 minutes. Space is limited. We are also looking for a few visual artists, any media, who reside within a few blocks of Palmetto between Central and Evergreen.
BOS 09 Cabaret
email | website
Ladies and gentlement of the stage, Arts in Bushwick cordially invites you to submit your work for the BOS ‘09 Cabaret! This is a fabulous event every year, and the Cabaret team looks forward to this year being better than ever.
For the first time, we will be having a curated, themed show. The Cabaret theme is High Society. Recession special? Who needs it? We want more excuses to dress up. Please submit works that are appropriate to the theme suggestion. Think: Billionaires for Bush, fancy dress balls, and nights at the opera.
All submissions and question should be sent to performance@artsinbushwick.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
Please note: this year, we are unable to accomodate aerial performances. We are also not soliciting bands or musical acts. Tech will be fairly simple, and storage minimal, so keep that mind when you submit your proposal.

Hi, you’ve probably noticed the bar with the tinted windows and numbers on it on the Knickerbocker side of Maria Hernandez. That’s the 208Cafe and Lounge. It’s a real classy place with an owner really open to performers. He isn’t all up in your business and all, just wants you to get heads in there to see how nice he’s made the place. I will launch a show there Thursday May 21st (7 PM), “Hank Schwarzkopf and Peanut Butter Baby” where I present various performers; more or less it’s a third sketch comedy or comedic theater, a third world music from the neighborhood, and a third “wild card” which could be like wrestling, vaudville, performance art…something entertaining and interesting that is maybe rare or as of yet without definition. There are running gags and interviews with neighborhood personalities throughout. Im producing a special BOS edition at the 208, if there are any performers who want a place to do there thing during this great weekend please send an email telling me what you do.
