BOS '10 Weekend is Here!

What is BOS '10?

Bushwick Open Studios is a self-organized, collaborative festival produced by Arts in Bushwick. Now in its fourth year, the festival features more than 300 shows in over 150 locations.

Looking For A Map?

You can pick up maps and programs at one of our 14 hub spaces (see below), or at various coffee shops around the Bushwick area: Cafe Orwell (Morgan L), the Archive (Morgan L), Wyckoff Starr (Jefferson L -- also a hub), and Little Skips (Myrtle-Broadway J/M/Z).

Need Help Getting Around?

Bushwick Open Studios takes place over 3 square miles of Bushwick and neighboring areas in East Williamsburg, Ridgewood and Bedford-Stuyvesant. To help you get around the festival, we've designated 14 hub spaces, where you can pick up a copy of our printed map and program, get information, and reorient yourself. The hubs come up as letters A - N on our Google Map. Each hub is relatively close to public transportation, and can be a good starting point for festival attendees. Hubs will be open during normal festival hours: June 5 + 6, 12 PM - 7 PM.

What Are Festival Events?

Festival Events are annually occurring projects that we produce to help structure the weekend, provide additional opportunities for artists, and foster community dialogue. If you're looking for a good location to meet new people or bump into a BOS organizer, come to one of the events and have fun! Individual artist studios will also feature events of their own, as special highlights to the work being presented.
