Award-winning blogazine, primarily about painting
Tuesday, October 4, 2022
Here is our selected listing of summer shows, primarily painting, in New York this month. I�ll be at the studio in DUMBO for most of the month (just got a batch of new canvases, follow work in progress here), and then, at the end, I’m off for a road trip to Canada. Give me a shout if you�re […]
UPDATED June 25, 2019 / In June Basel�hosts the international art world from Tuesday, June 11, to Sunday, June 16, so beware that NYC openings will be sparse and a slew of #artbasel2019 posts will be flooding your Instagram feed. At the end of the list this month, we’ve added […]
To everyone who has struggled through another academic year, final crits are over, so the time has come to get out and see some shows. We don�t usually put museum exhibitions on our list, but don�t miss the 2019 Whitney Biennial, which opens this week. I went to the press preview, and I have to agree […]
Contributed by Sharon Butler / This year the�17 artists who�get�free studio space in DUMBO were selected by jurors�Ellen Altfest, Phong Bui, Deborah Kass, Philip Pearlstein, and Daniel Turner from (gasp) 1700 applicants.

Despite the distraction of the art fairs, March must be a good month to present�exhibitions. Several gallerists and former gallerists are stepping out from behind the desk�to show�their own work. Look for Joe Amrhein (Pierogi, LES) at Postmasters, Deborah Brown (former owner/director of Storefront Ten Eyck, Bushwick) at Burning in […]
February is a short month, which makes visiting�all the shows that much harder, but before the onslaught of NYC art fairs��in March (the�6th through 10th),�try to visit some galleries, either IRL or online. After all, we�can�t spend every minute�obsessing over Adam Schiff�s investigations, the�House�Committee��hearings, SC Mueller and the Russia probe, […]
Contributed by Sharon Butler / The new year brings good news for Bushwick gallery goers: The L Train, which was scheduled for a 15-month shutdown to undergo repairs beginning this year, is NOT shutting down. This is a welcome decision for the artists and galleries that live and work along the path of […]
Contributed by Sharon Butler / Well, hello there December. I just completed a hectic (but energizing) semester teaching three courses–New York Academy of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Parsons at the New School–and I’m eager to head out and see some exhibitions before the holidays. Tra la la. Don�t forget […]
