Closing Bell: Brooklyn Museum Celebrates 35 Local Artists

Brooklyn Museum has just opened its “Crossing Brooklyn: Art from Bushwick, Bed Stuy, and Beyond” exhibit, which highlights 35 local artists through three months of exhibitions, performances and activities. The exhibit, which opened Friday, features work in virtually every medium, including video, sculpture, painting, drawing, installation and performance.

The museum will host a working farm, a greenmarket from local farmers, a life-size equestrian sculpture made of cork onto which visitors can pin notes, a panorama composed of 365 consecutive views of the sky, and a photography series documenting the forced and voluntary migrations of an African American family. This month there will also be a historical walking tour of Flatbush Avenue, a bicycle-powered generator, and an outing on Newtown Creek with the North Brooklyn Boat Club.

Check out the museum’s calendar page for the full schedule, and read the press release to see the full list of artists.
