1stfans: Shifting Focus and Moving to Meetup.com

1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for October 2010: Wendi Kavanaugh
One of the great things that we’ve discovered through the Twitter Art Feed is how many of our very own 1stfans have wanted to create projects to share specifically with this community. So following last month’s project by Museum Nerd, … Continue reading

This month on the 1stfans Twitter Art Feed artist, we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to feature one of our very own 1stfans: the anonymous, yet notorious, Twitter personality known as @MuseumNerd. If you’re one of the over 24,000 followers … Continue reading

1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for June 2010: Mike Monteiro
June’s 1stfans artist is Mike Monteiro, an artist whose work we discovered through our friends at 20×200.com. We were initially attracted to Mike’s work because of his strong use of text: his striking black and white paintings illustrate maxims which … Continue reading
Brooklyn’s Finest: Nitasha Kawatra
This week is my last at the Brooklyn Museum, and so I thought we’d do a special edition of “Brooklyn’s Finest” this month by way of transitioning over the 1stfans leadership here at the Museum. Even before 1stfans launched, Shelley … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for May 2010: Odessa Begay
May’s 1stfans artist for the Twitter Art Feed is Odessa Begay, who has probably merged “twitter” and “art” in the most literal way by illustrating celebrity tweets. Begay, who’s a Brooklynite, has done a tremendous job taking single tweets and … Continue reading

The First Harvest in the Wilderness
Valerie Hegarty’s evocation of Asher B. Durand’s 1855 painting The First Harvest in the Wilderness in her benefit print for the 1stfans program adds another chapter to the painting’s already illustrious history. Its story begins in 1855, when the Brooklyn … Continue reading
