Saturday & Sunday, November 17-18, 12pm to 6pm each day
Park Slope Windsor Terrace Artists, a group of over 30 artists who live and work in the neighborhood, are opening their studios for visits on Saturday & Sunday, November 17-18. This annual weekend event is a chance to meet the artists up close and personal and get to see their artwork in a creative setting. There’s a range of art that includes traditional and contemporary painting, printmaking, drawings, photography, plus ceramics and sculpture—along with many unexpected surprises in each studio. Several artists have created work with holiday gift-giving in mind—most art is for sale at all price ranges. Look for our red balloons that mark each studio location, and check out our posters throughout the neighborhood. Information on studio locations, the types of art on display, plus a map, is available at https://artspswt.com and on Facebook & Instagram @artspswt

Chris Baily at 200 St John’s Place in the North Slope is experimenting with adding moving elements, using projected video, to his work, as an exploration between video art and painting.
