In conjunction with GO Brooklyn Art, the huge open studio event sponsored by the Brooklyn Museum, on September 8, 2012, ArtOnBrighton, a multidisciplinary festival will celebrate the creative energies of POST-SOVIET IMMIGRANTS of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn and beyond.

Daytime visitors are encouraged to explore Open Artist Studios in and around Brighton Beach, as part of the Brooklyn Museum GO project. The organizers are warning “that you will likely encounter rather interesting sights and characters along the way.”

Sweet.

An evening program will be comprised of live music, art, and comedy presented at the NY Aquarium, followed by a DJ-spun dance party out on the adjacent beach, where a large-scale site-specific art installation, “Brighton is Cool, Ocean is Hot,” made up of 36 WORKING AIR CONDITIONERS (i.e. the poster) will be set up.

Also, there will be the Amazing Water art exhibit, bar and snacks, video projection art and live performances by artists, including Y-Love, The Clox, Lady Aye, Alina Simone, Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band, and Amour Obscur. The host for the evening is the outrageous comedian Kira Soltanovich, as seen on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Out on the beach, DJ Spinach will be spinning a dance party into the night. Watch out for the fire dancers!

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Visit www.ArtOnBrighton.org for tickets and detailed program information. RSVP on Facebook for updates and invite your friends. https://www.facebook.com/events/342869892463772/
