BWAC Red Hook Art Show Opens Today

3 Comments

Brooklyn Beat of Deep in the Heart of Brooklyn was kind enough write this post about the the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition HOT!
Summer Art Exhibition

The excitement begins on Saturday, July 26 through August 17 at
the BWAC exhibition space at 499 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook.

I spent a few hours over a couple of weekends helping My Better Half,
Judy Tantleff-Napoli, a BWAC member and artist/educator, set up her
sculptures for the exhibition, and had the chance to preview some of
the other work that will be on display in this show situated in this
great pre-Civil War warehouse space right by the waterfront. Based on
my preliminary view, it promises to be another wide-ranging, inspiring
and provocative exhibition. Setting up the work was "fun" in a manner
of speaking because the warehouse is always such an intriguing space
and the BWAC folks were very spirited and easy to work with.

Saturday’s opening 1 – 6 PM will feature the Big Bang Big Band
performance at 3 PM. Sunday will feature Le Nozze di Carlo (which
translate’s roughly as "Carl’s Wedding", I’ll bet there is a story
there)

Although the show opens tomorrow, as a blogger, I couldn’t resist and
took a few photos posted on my site (link above) Lots of great work. Among the many
interesting works in all media, I thought Brian Keogh’s sculpture could
serve as one of the signature pieces for this 2008 Brooklyn artists
show (which actually seems to attracts artists from all over).

  1. It is a realy good show to see , its well curated in all aspects .
    We have 4 featured artists of the highest order.
    It is show within a show , Changing perspectives also encompases a new aproachh for the artist to show their works
    Art to the edge , an experiment in hanging art works, in a more undisiplined maner with fine results
    this gives a new flavor to the summer show
    August 8th an Anime festival will be celebrated at BWAC , Anime caqrtoons will be in our screening room as well many anime fans are expected to participate and cosply probable , with prizes for the best costume
