This Weekend in NYC: Art writer Morgan Everhart selects the top artists and organizations to visit for Bushwick Open Studios 2022.

I can’t help but laugh, somewhat hysterically, when I think about how much happened during last week’s Armory festivities and what’s about to happen this weekend at Bushwick Open Studios. “Accessibility” is the best word to describe the difference between these art events. Most Armory Week events were ticketed or private events—if you wanted to check out gallery receptions last week, you likely had to inconveniently scour several platforms to map out your night. 

In contrast, Bushwick Open Studios (BOS) is this weekend, from Friday, September 16 through Sunday, September 18. BOS takes on a more community-oriented approach to promoting the arts by allowing any artist or organization in the neighborhood to participate in its festivities. With over 100 artists and organizations participating in BOS, we’ve highlighted and routed the top studios, galleries, or art-related spots to visit over the weekend. 

Please refer to Bushwick Open Studio’s website for everyone’s open hours. Most are open from 12–6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Here’s a Google map of Bushwick Open Studios, created by art cartographer and writer Alex Feim:

1. Between States

Ahead of Bushwick Open Studios, “Between States” opens—“Between States” is a group exhibition to support abortion rights via Planned Parenthood, Brigid Alliance, and Keep Our Clinics. 

“Between States” counters the idea that we are divided according to the state in which we live, and shows the reality of human connection across geographical boundaries. The exhibition highlights gender fluidity and emphasizes that women’s rights are human rights through showing experiences of perceptual depth and multi-dimensional readings.

Opening Reception:
Friday, September 16, 6–9 p.m.
56 Bogart Street Suite #114, Brooklyn, NY 11206

Curated by Michael David and Jennifer Samet, “Between States” shows works by Andrea Belag, Michael Berryhill, Allison Blumenthal, Katherine Bradford, Tom Burckhardt, Lisa Corinne Davis, Mary DeVincentis, Astrid Dick, Angela Dufresne, Teresa Getty, Brenda Goodman, Joanne Greenbaum, Nora Griffin, Cate Holt, Jenna Inzetta, Suzanne Joelson, Barbara Laube, Margrit Lewczuk, Lauren Luloff, Sangram Majumdar, Suzanne McClelland, Leeza Meksin, Cherie Mittenthal, Louise Noel, Camila Oliveira Fairclough, Judy Pfaff, Erika Ranee, Debra Samdperil, Mira Schor, Francesca Schwartz, Joan Snyder, Kyle Staver, Rachel Volpone, Anna Wagner-Ott, Carolyn Wenning, Emily Weiskopf, and Molly Zuckerman-Hartung.
