Greenpoint Open Studios returns for its 10th year on May 30 and 31, inviting the public inside the creative spaces of more than 200 local artists across the neighborhood. From painting and sculpture to film, dance, textiles, and architecture, the two-day event offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the people and processes shaping Greenpoint’s vibrant arts community.

Greenpoint Open Studios kicks off with its annual Artist Social on Thursday, May 21, bringing together participating artists and guests ahead of the neighborhood-wide open studios weekend on May 30 and 31. Hosted at Maison Mono, the free evening will feature live music, art, complimentary drinks, portraits by Greenpoint Glam, and a chance for artists to pick up promotional materials before the big event.
