Join professional and amateur astronomers for a free evening of urban stargazing!
An outdoor party beneath the Brooklyn Bridge and the twinkling canvas of the night sky, this will be a night to explore and discover the vast wonders of the cosmos.
Bring your telescope if you have one, or use one of the dozens we’ll have on hand. Or crawl under the night canvas of the Discovery Dome, an HD curved projection theater featuring asteroids, the solar system, and future space technologies for living on the moon and beyond.
Bring a blanket, grab a tasty street bite and a glass of wine from the area food trucks, and space out to the cosmic beats of DJ Duckcomb (from the band Trap.Avoid) as we look to the stars together and imagine the worlds beyond. Click here to read more about this event.
Ray Smith Studio Presents!The Art School Without Walls Vol. 1:
Acclaimed muralist Sofia Maldonado is leading the cre8tive YouTH*ink team of teen artists from Los Galeristas Adolescentes to design and produce the new and original large-scale mural pictured below.
Please help us to fund this project through Kickstarter. You too, can be a patron of the arts – even for a just a buck! The amount isn’t as important as you taking the time to do it.
Over funding of this project will increase the stipend that Los Galeristas Adolescentes receive for their participation in the production of this enduring work of art, so remember to fund this project generously!
