Jon Michael Anzalone Reiko Hamano Allan Bailey Andrew Hunt Daniel Derwelis Christopher Sachs Chris Georgalas Gustabo Velazquez

The neighborhood of Bushwick attracts those who seek space to create, dismantle conventions, and pioneer their own culture, earning itself a rough-and-tumble reputation—the golden offspring of which is a thriving art scene recognized worldwide as an artistic hub.

Bushwick Local, set in the pristine space of a contemporary residential building, encourages viewers to interact with the artworks, and suggests that they think of their own lives as art. Attendees will participate in a seminal moment in the Bushwick art scene.

The opening reception will feature performances by Backspace Performance Ensemble; DJ Lois Lame; refreshments from Brooklyn Brewery and chef Masato Okamoto; and beginning at 9:30 pm, live music curated by el diabl’ productions.
