Event Details
Join us Saturday, August 1 at Maria Hernandez Park for the final Art Meetup of the summer.
The Art Meetup is a community-led gathering for artists, neighbors, creatives, and curious people who want to make art, meet new people, and feel less alone in the city.
Expect local artists, free crafts, creative activities, vendors, music, giveaways, and relaxed park hangs in the heart of Bushwick.
Some people come to create.
Some come to shop local artists.
Some come alone just to be around good energy.
All are welcome.
