From the Six Zones of BOS: Gymnastics, Vacancy, Communal Table, and Kings & Queens

Bushwick Open Studios looks to be another huge year for arts in Bushwick! At press time there were 581 online registered events (down only slightly from last year's 598 registered users) filling a weekend with art and performance. We worked over the very user friendly Arts in Bushwick website and compiled Norte Maar's 2014 list of not to miss events, exhibitions, and studios... or at least those that we'll not miss!!!! Similar to last year, all events/exhibitions/studios are divided into six zones stretching the geographic lines which make up the creative neighborhood of Bushwick.
