If you’re looking for the most bang for your buck at this year’s Greenpoint Open Studios, you can rely on the studio-rich block of Greenpoint Avenue between Franklin and West. If you’re short on time or not up for a stroll around the neighborhood, head straight for The Pencil Factory at 61 Greenpoint Avenue.

Between the five floors of studios, 18 artists are participating in this year’s Open Studio, including Filiz Emma Soyak and Paul Richard.

And if that’s not enough, on the sixth floor at the office and coworking space Pencil Works, you’ll find a group exhibition of Greenpoint artists including John & Wendy.

If that is still not yet enough, two participating artists have studios on Franklin Avenue: Joshua Starcher (99 Franklin #3L) and Jeffery Anderson (139 Franklin, 1st floor).

Lastly, I would be remiss to mention nearby GOS sponsors Alter and Cassette, the latter of which is hosting the wrap party on Sunday evening, 6-8pm.
Stop by one of the info hubs or RSVP here to stay in the loop! See you in the streets!
