The Open Studio Model

August 2nd, 2012 by Sharon Matt Atkins

Clear signage is a must given the busyness of the urban landscape and buildings that may be difficult to find or navigate.

By melding the ArtPrize concept with the open studio model, we want to offer a unique experience—one that complements the local open studio tradition. Our aim is to highlight the great diversity of Brooklyn’s artists and neighborhoods, and to encourage as much exchange between the two as possible. This is also why we decided to deviate from ArtPrize model by asking participants to visit multiple studios, and by asking them to view work in progress and within the context of the workplace rather than in isolation. We hope this will encourage dialogue between artists and their public, and provide viewers with new opportunities to become integrated into the vibrant artistic communities located in their own neighborhoods and throughout the borough. GO is about art, artists, and community, and we cannot wait to see how a borough-wide open studio weekend brings these together.

    I’m an artist in Willamsburg, and was told today, by someone at the Museum, that I can still participate in the GO open studio weekend event. How do I sign up?

    Thanks for your interest, Cliff. Unfortunately, artist registration is closed, but we hope you’ll support your fellow artists by visiting studios on September 8 and 9 and registering as a voter.
