Flatbush Artists Studio Tour--A Great Success!

The Flatbush Artists Studio Tour was this past weekend and it was a great success! The weather cooperated with us and I believe all our visitors enjoyed strolling our leaf-strewn neighborhood in the balmy sunshine. All of us have different styles and it made for an interesting visit. I was interviewed by Brooklyn cable television , which will run in about 2 weeks. I'll let you know.

Now that Flatbush Artists Studio Tour is over, I would like to thank our many visitors who made our 2nd tour a grand success! I am grateful to the numerous volunteers who worked so hard on this event.

The businesses and individuals who lent their financial support to FAST made it possible for hundreds of visitors to enjoy the arts in our neighborhood. These supporters and sponsors demonstrated their commitment to the flourishing arts community in Victorian Flatbush. Please patronize these builders of our community.

FAST Celebration

Last night was the Gala Opening of Flatbush Artists Studio Tour Group Show. What a success & what a great party! Lots of food & wine complements of show supporters, Drs. Winoarsky and Lewin. Beautiful artwork artfully hung by Paul Catalanatto, Ernst Mohammed & Ana Hagan. Great crowd, somewhere around 150 attending, would be my guess. A great precursor for a wonderful weekend. (Picture of me by one of my paintings at the show.)

I am opening my home studio this weekend, 190 Marlborough Road (between Beverly & Albemarle, Beverly Rd. station on Q train) as part of the Flatbush Artists Studio Tour. Saturday & Sunday, 11AM-4PM, come have a glass of wine & some nosh & see my work. I am unveiling a new jewelry line as well. Then you can stroll the leafy streets of this beautiful Victorian neighborhood, in what is predicted to be perfect fall weather, and see the rest of the artists' work. Looking forward to seeing you then.
