Hello Miss Heather!

How are you? Hope all is well. I’m running frantic producing Northside Open Studios and I hope you can help us spread the word…

Greenpoint Open Studios is teaming up with L magazine’s Northside Festival this year to bring you NORTHSIDE OPEN STUDIOS, a four day event celebrating a burgeoning art scene in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. As artist studios and exhibition spaces continue to emerge in the neighborhood we hope to facilitate the growth of a thriving art community.

Registration is now OPEN and we encourage artists working in all mediums to register online by May 15th. There is a Meet & Greet on April 26th 7:30pm at Brooklyn Brewery located at 79 North 11th Street and we will discuss registration, programming, and any questions. It is very important that artists join us in the meeting and get to know each other and learn about NOS over a complimentary free beer!

Please help us spread the word, our goal is to reach 300 participating artists who can take advantage of the 10,000 brochure copies that will be widely printed and distributed throghout brooklyn, not to mention a vast opportunity for viewership and attendance.

Follow us on twitter, like us on Facebook, and share the open call invite. Feel free to also post any announcements and listings on our page, whether it’s an upcoming show or an available studio down the hall.

Duly noted!

Dear Miss Heather,

If you get a chance and are so inclined we would like to invite you and the mister to the first ever Paping Pinewood Derby at No Globe Exhibition Space on May 1st. Paping is a comic zine collective that previously brought the Soapbox Derby to Brooklyn Heights. Due to an exceptionally popular 3rd year field that gathered maybe a little too much attention, as in the po-po, it was necessary to conceive of a new format.

After several years absence a new Paping race is coming to our humble Greenpoint space. Artists from far and near will be contributing cars to race for glory on a Sunday afternoon, 3pm till racing is finished… …you can check out past glories here.

Check it out!

Paping Pinewood Derby
May 1, 2011 starting at 3:00 p.m.
No Globe Exhibition Space
488 Morgan Avenue, 3rd Floor (entrance is on Division Place)
Brooklyn, NY 11222
