I spent way too much time digging through class schedules, community calendars, and studio websites, so I figured I'd share the highlights.
If you've been saying "I need a hobby," here's what's on offer this summer. This directory covers the following hobbies:
The full guide includes prices, neighborhoods, and start dates (there are 70+ listings across Brooklyn).
Hope many of you find it helpful or inspiring!
If I missed any great classes or recurring meetups, I'd love to add them for the next edition.
Hi! Come join me for pottery in the park (class) next Tuesday evening! This time, we’ll be doing picture frames :) info on the partiful description— I hope to see you there! 🫶🏼
The Independent Art Spaces Alliance is a growing network of home galleries, artist-run spaces, pop-ups, and unconventional venues across New York City.
Some of the city's most exciting art is found outside the commercial gallery system—in living rooms, storefronts, studios, community spaces, warehouses, and other unexpected places: even a freight elevator in Tribeca! Our mission is simple: make these spaces easier to find, strengthen the people behind them, and help more artists connect with audiences.
Our goal is simple: make these spaces easier to find, strengthen the people behind them, and help more artists connect with audiences.
People who hold exhibits can get in touch, share info about their shows that get posted on IASA'S website https://indartspaces.org/ and social media (@indartspacesnyc).
Together we will define how we can best have people enjoy our exhibits, how we can enjoy getting to know each other and share ideas and resources.

Hey VJs! We’re looking for VJs and video artists to come play visuals at an experimental art event in NYC.
Technical Difficulties is a new series pairing VJs, video artists, DJs, and electronic musicians for live audiovisual experimentation.
The idea is pretty simple: come test new work, try weird things, experiment, collaborate, and see what happens in front of a real crowd. Nothing needs to be finished or polished. This is meant to be a place to beta test work live. Each VJ will be matched with a DJ/musician for a 20 to 40 minute set!
Looking for:
• VJs / Video and Projection artists
• DJs and Musicians
• Anyone interested in experimenting with live audiovisual performance
📍 H0L0, Ridgewood, Queens
📅 Wednesday, August 19
⏰ 8PM to 2AM
🎟️ $15 advance / $20 door
Interested in playing visuals or DJing? Submit here:

💌 If cost is a barrier, DM us. We’ll figure something out.
Would especially love to connect with other VJs and video artists in NYC who want a space to try out new stuff.

Just letting folks know from the neighborhood that our documentary about the 80s East Village art scene is playing one LAST time in NYC this summer. A unique documentation of East Village history with never-before-published archival video and the participation of 150+ artists from the era.
Venue: Museum of Arts and Design - 2 Columbus Circle
Date: Saturday August 15th 1:45pm
In conjunction with New Plaza Cinema, we play at the MAD Museum with easy travel access to the East Village! The venue only allows Advance Ticket sales, so keep in mind no on-site ticket sales. Prices are $15 for General Admission but $14 for Students and Seniors.
Synopsis: Make Me Famous captures NYC’s explosive 1980s Downtown art scene where punk, paint, music, and nightlife collided. At its edge stood painter Edward Brezinski, whose story reveals the era’s DIY grit, ambition and where the dream of making it felt just within reach and heartbreakingly out of grasp.
Happy to answer any questions about the film and the many EV artists that are involved!
I'm hosting a guided Artist's Way reading group with my friend Hillary at her studio Home Ec NYC in LIC this fall! Our twelve in person sessions will take place on Thursdays 6:30pm-8:30pm from Sep 10th - Dec 10th (we will be off Nov 26th).
If you've ever been curious about this book or gotten halfway through without success, this will be the group for you. We have both done this before with great success and had a lot of fun along the way. The group also includes some studio time and materials for new artistic experimentation.
Check out https://www.homeecnyc.com/workshopsevents/p/the-artists-way-reading-group for more info! Hope to see you there!
We followed Will Van Zee - one of the last hand crafted sign artists in New York City. He creates handcrafted signs for restaurants and other businesses in his personal studio for a living. He told us what keeps him going every day, what makes New York City special for him and his art and why he doesn’t sign most of his signs at the end.
"What Shapes NYC" is a mini-doc series about people who shape NYC with what they do.
This is a self-funded project - there was no payment in any form involved.
