The BOS 2008 PREVIEW / SAMPLE SALE will be held @ LUMENHOUSE May 30th from 7:30 - 10:30pm.

Featuring works by BOS 2008 artists, the benefit will provide an opportunity for artists and their friends, clients, collectors, the general public, and the press to preview a small sample of works exhibited during the Bushwick Open Studios and Arts Festival. 

All artists participating in the showcase will be asked to donate a piece of work for a benefit auction. In exchange, you will receive our undying gratitude, plus a free copy of the benefit catalogue, which will include images of all work in the auction.

If you’re interested in participating, or would like more information, please check out the BOS 08 Festival Events page or email benefit@artsinbushwick.org

Arts in Bushwick is currently organizing a music marathon event to be held as part of the Bushwick Open Studios this summer. We need an eclectic mix of bands, singer-songwriters, MC’s, really any genre! There will be a strong concentration of Bushwick-based acts, but anyone can submit.

Please email us a link to your electronic press kit, myspace, or web page, and make sure there are music samples available. Along with your links please tell us a little about yourself

Note – This isn’t the typical booking process. We don’t care if you’ve never played a show in NYC and have 0 draw. Our goal is to give artists exposure.

Please submit everything by MAY 1ST to: chantilly@artsinbushwick.org.
