Upcoming Facelift

Poor NYC To-Do List. How I have ignored you and let you down. I am taking next week off of work (yes, I am impressed with myself, too) and will try and find the time to once again restore you back to your previous state.

Be on the look-out for an updated calendar and hopefully a few more posts.

SITE Fest

Though many in New York are attending the Armory Show and it's peripheral art fairs as part of Arts Week in NY, I'll be in my own neighborhood covering SITE Fest for Arts in Bushwick! Follow the action @ Arts in Bushwick's blog and on Twitter!

SITE Fest is one of the many arts events sponsored by the non-profit volunteer run Arts in Bushwick. SITE Fest is an all weekend event showcasing music, theater and dance performances taking place in over 20 spaces in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Some of the performers will be blurring the lines between the show and the audience, like House of Yes who will be throwing a party/circus/aerial performance/parade all at once! Other works will be part performance art part art installation, such as Stephen Tateishi's Sleep of Reason @ Bushwick Starr.

There are also four central spaces, called hub spaces; 3rd Ward, Chez Bushwick, Grace Exhibition Space and ionSound (@ Goodbye Blue Monday). 3rd Ward will feature theater and short form performance pieces. Chez Bushwick will be
the spot for all things dance and movement. Grace Exhibition Space will be featuring several performance artists both days allowing you to enter the space at anytime during a piece. And ionSound is a music festival happening all weekend long at Goodbye Blue Monday in the front of house and the amazing covered backyard.

If you are in NY this weekend and don't have the money to see the Armory show or the other expensive/invite only art fairs come support local artists right here in Bushwick. All hub spaces are suggested donation and most other events are FREE or a $5 cover.

Tonight at Beauty Bar the party begins with cheap booze and dancing. Who knows by the end of the weekend you may stumble into someone's loft and see something new and fresh.
