NARS FOUNDATION and J&M NY OPEN STUDIOS

On Saturday, September 21, 2013 from 1:00PM-6:00PM, the NARS Foundation invites you to Sunset Park to experience art in the environment where it is created. The NARS and J&M Open Studios offer an invaluable exchange that benefits artists and community members alike. Artists open their doors to expose an otherwise private workspace, gaining feedback and broader exposure that might lead to other opportunities. Neighbors and visitors, in turn, get access to the creative process happening right next door and a glimpse into spaces that they might not otherwise see.

Opening Party

Join the artists the evening before Open Studios for a sneak peek and celebration of their new works Friday, September 20, 2013 from 6:00PM-9:00PM.
