Art Show In Red Hook Starting May 8
 
The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) will hold its 18th Annual Spring Art Show in Red Hook, weekends, starting May 8 through June 13. 1-6 PM at 499 Van Brunt Street. The Show is entitled "Nailed" and will feature over 200 artists of all visual media.

We are a not for profit organization and 99% of the work is done by the volunteer/members.

The exhibit itself is in a Civil War era warehouse with sweeping views of New York Harbor including the Statute of Liberty. Across the street are derelict Brooklyn trolleys next to Fairways. It is a fabulous place to show and visit.

My wife, a sister-in-law, and myself will be showing and there opening day May 8. I am supposed to be at panel 143 although they might move me but my wife will be at panel 149.

Directions
By Transit: Both the B77 (G and F train to Smith/9th) and the B61 (A and F train to Jay Street) buses go to Van Brunt & Beard stop.

Approximately 10 minutes by car from the brooklyn bridge: Brooklyn Bridge becomes Adams Street. Make a right on to Atlantic Avenue, left on to Columbia Street, right on to DeGraw. Left on to Van Brunt and continue on Van Brunt to end.

Great, I hope you see then. As you will recall, I am the tall thin one with a Fabio mane of hair and the ripped abs.
