Arts in Bushwick 4.85

Founded in the fall of 2007 by roughly fifteen local artists and community organizers, Arts in Bushwick culminated from the grassroots efforts of its founders in planning the 2007 Bushwick Open Studios festival. To the present, Arts In Bushwick continues to operate as an all-volunteer, non-hierarchical organization, and maintains a completely open structure, inviting all community members to bring their ideas to the organization and to participate in producing its activities. Anyone in the community who is willing to volunteer their time is welcome to join with us and take on a leadership role. Dozens of community members volunteer their time as organizers for each of our festivals and year-round, and many many more pitch in during our events.
