Make sure to stop by Myrtle’s newest bar and lounge, Cielo, for our Artober reception this Wednesday at 6:30pm. Come out to sample Cielo’s tasty Latin fusion fare, and raise a glass to local artists and art! Light refreshments on us.
The reception is a single event that celebrates the art and artists featured during Myrtle Avenue’s month-long Artober series (see full list of artists below). During the past month, Artober has seen 8 art exhibitions hosted by Myrtle Merchants; 4 artist receptions & talks; the installation of Tomorrow, a new sculpture, in Fort Greene Park; the This Is BrooklynMyrtle Windows Gallery exhibition. The Myrtle Windows Gallery will remain on view until early November.
In addition, the installation of new tree guards, each custom designed by local artists and students, is set to take place within the next couple of weeks along Myrtle Avenue between Flatbush and Classon Avenues.
In addition to these events on Myrtle Avenue, the exhibit War Journalists is also currently on display (through October) at BLDG 92, the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s visitor center. BLDG 92 is also the venue for a new play, A History of Launching Ships , with the final performances taking place this weekend. Get ticket info here.
