Changing Leaves and Changing Art: New exhibits open in Williamsburg for October’s Every Second Friday Gallery Crawl Sponsored by AT&T October 14, 2011

New shows at the Williamsburg Art and Historic Center and The Gallery at Skink Ink Editions join exhibits at perennial favorites Like the Spice Gallery, Causey Contemporary and many others for the Williamsburg Every 2:nd Friday gallery crawl on Friday, October 14, from 6–9 p.m., presented by AT&T.

Seasoned and budding collectors, artists, gallerists, community members and tourists alike join galleries for opening receptions, artist discussions, performances and refreshments. A guided tour of neighborhood galleries led by Stephan Fowlkes, arts editor of The New York Optimist, will leave from Parker's Box (193 Grand Street) at 7 p.m.

During the gallery crawl Williamsburg Every 2:nd and AT&T will continue the “Learn to Collect” project, which invites attendees to create their own “collections” by photographing artwork with their smartphones and uploading the pictures to the Williamsburg Every 2:nd Facebook page. The individual whose collection comprises the greatest amount of artwork from the most galleries will be awarded a smartphone. Maps of the art walk will be distributed at participating galleries, local businesses and the Bedford and Union Square L stations.
