Sun, Oct 18, 5:30 PMHey Everyone! Fall is here and it's time for one of our favorite events in NYC... The Arts Gowanus Open Studios! We'll gather on Sunday the 18th (meeting point TBA) and visit several open studios, see lots of new art and chat with the artists! We might even luck into some free wine and cheese along the way. :-) We will plan a walking route to visit some of the best studios, and after we will stop for a snack or light dinner in the neighborhood and discuss which pieces were our favorites or seemed the most impressive or innovative... This is a really fun and social event that we've run for several years in a row,,, you won't want to miss it!

View Art at Gowanus Open Studios!
Sun, Oct 18, 8:00 PMJoin GTBN to visit **[Gowanus Open Studios!](https://www.artsgowanus.org/gowanus-open-studios-2026)**[ ](https://www.artsgowanus.org/gowanus-open-studios-2026) Specifically, we will be visiting one building on the circuit containing many studios, **TI Art Studios!** Gowanus Open Studios will be Saturday and Sunday, but our group will be "meeting up" on Sunday 10/18 at 4PM! **What to Expect** Meet us in the "Sweet Lorraine" Gallery at 4:30PM! Once you get to the TI Studios from the elevator, follow the signs for Sweet Lorraine Gallery. We'll look at the art exhibit there and then head out to see other studios in the building. Some artists will have art available for purchase, and others will be for viewing only. **How to get there** TI Arts Studio's Entrance is up a ramp at 183 Lorraine Street in the Red Hook Neighborhood of Brooklyn. Be sure to check Googlemaps as Red Hook always takes longer to get to than you think it will. **Arts Appreciation Opportunity** Friend of GTBN, cartoonist **Mindy Indy** is in the process of creating pencil sketches, inking, and creating vibrant watercolor concept art of otherworldly **Martian landscapes** for her sci-fi series *AER HEAD*. Be sure to stop by Mindy's studio to learn about her upcoming comic. She is also running a KickStarter to fund the 3rd Issue of AER HEAD!

Painting Alphabet City
Sat, Oct 17, 3:00 PMNowadays, Alphabet City might be Affluent, Bourgeois, Comfortable, and Decent (rather than Alive, Breathing, Comatose, and Dead) but there's still artistic life in these avenues! In addition to Kosmic Community Anti-Bar and the bright terracotta on the old bank building we'll meet in front of, we'll be surrounded by a surfeit of community gardens and heavily ornamented old tenements. Our meeting point will be at 11am at the northeast corner of Ave. C and East 7th St, in front of the old bank building in the picture. Check in with me on-site so I know who's attending, and then we'll disperse to our individual painting spots. At 2pm, we'll meet back up to show off our art and discuss the day. Gather your materials (watercolor, oils, gouache, acrylics, marker: all are welcome) and join with other artists for the joys and challenges of painting outside!

New date for Chelsea Afternoon: New York Day Trip w/the Art Appreciation Group
Sat, Oct 24, 5:00 PMI think a case can be made that the Chelsea area of Manhattan contains more galleries than anywhere else in the universe. (I'm making an assumption here that other intelligent life somewhere out there doesn't have "art" and "galleries" as we know them. :)) Whether or not the above is true, let's at least make a dent in the huge number of galleries in this neighborhood by starting in the middle and heading south. I'll work up a detailed and specific itinerary within the coming weeks, but let's say straight off that we'll meet at 1:00 at Jim Kempner Fine Art, a gallery on the Northwest corner of 23rd Street and 10th Avenue that is pretty much impossible to miss because looks like a multi-level contemporary house: [https://www.jimkempnerfineart.com/](https://www.jimkempnerfineart.com/) The first thing you encounter upon walking in is the sculpture garden: [https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-new-york-city-ny-usa-modern-architecture-art-jim-kempner-fine-art-50949706.html](https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-new-york-city-ny-usa-modern-architecture-art-jim-kempner-fine-art-50949706.html) [https://www.vaadia.com/exhibitions/jimkempner_2011.shtml](https://www.vaadia.com/exhibitions/jimkempner_2011.shtml) So let's meet there unless it's raining or really hot, in which case, let's just go inside and meet on the first floor. Other places I'd like to include in the day's outing are Little Island, Pier 57, the Highline (which the photo in this posting is taken from), and, if people are really interested, Hudson Yards. I will probably be sticking around to attend the Brooklyn Book Festival the next day and can help people get to trains and busses if that's wanted or needed. :) More to come!

Private Gallery Night: The Women Who Shaped American Art
Thu, Oct 22, 10:00 PMWhat if the story of American art were told through **the women who helped create it?** **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/TheWomenWhoShapedAmericanArt)** Join Women of Culture for a **private reception & walk-through at Lincoln Glenn Gallery** exploring ***[250 Years: American Women Artists and the Nation’s Story](https://www.lincolnglenn.com/exhibitions/48-250-years-american-women-artists-and-the-nation-s/overview/?utm_source=luma)*** — an exhibition that brings overlooked voices back into the spotlight and invites us to see American history from a different perspective. Spanning the Revolutionary era through today, the exhibition brings together work from **every decade of the nation’s history**, revealing generations of women who created, experimented, and built remarkable careers even when the art world offered them far fewer opportunities for recognition. We’ll travel through **250 years of creativity** — from intimate early portraits and sweeping landscapes to Impressionism, Modernism, abstraction, sculpture, and contemporary art — encountering both familiar names and fascinating artists whose stories deserve to be rediscovered. Among them are **Mary Cassatt, Sarah Miriam Peale, Ida Ten Eyck O’Keeffe, Mercedes Matter, Lee Bontecou, Harmony Hammond, Lynda Benglis, Teruko Yokoi**, and many more. Over the course of the evening, we’ll have the chance to slow down with the work, exchange perspectives, and connect with fellow culturally curious women in the intimate setting of the gallery. Come raise a glass to the women who created, challenged, experimented — and left their mark on American art, whether history remembered their names or not. **Event details:** **Date:** Thursday, October 22 **Time**: 6:00–8:00 PM **Location:** Lincoln Glenn Gallery Upper East Side [17 East 67th Street, Suite 1A](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lincoln+Glenn/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xdfaf0e87db2329b2?sa=X&ved=1t%3A2428&ictx=111&utm_source=luma) *** **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/TheWomenWhoShapedAmericanArt)** **Tickets:** * **Non-Members:** $10 First Release \| $15 Full Price * **Art-full Basic Members:** $5 First Release \| $10 Full Price * **Art-full Premier Members:** FREE Art-full premier members receive an additional 20% off.
