Northside ART
Northside Art is a three-day event celebrating a burgeoning art scene in North Brooklyn. It serves to create a collaborative platform for artists through three components: a group exhibition, a street festival with a focus on interactive and performance art, and our signature open studios. Our goal is to build a creative platform in which all members of the community can foster and contribute to a support system that encourages the sharing of ideas and relationships.
