The Artist Coalition
BWAC
(Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition)
has been promoting, exhibiting, and honoring artist for well over 30 years. I joined them 4 years ago and will never forget the first time I visited. The entrance to the pre-war brick building is on the very point of Red Hook over looking the Hudson.
The Sun was out in its fullest glory and Lady Liberty bathed in her rays. All this beauty and I haven’t even entered the Spring Opening show!
The inside of the building was huge, just huge! There were at least 15 foot ceilings, 5 big spaces downstairs and 6 long very wide walkways upstairs. At this opening there were all kinds of people to mingle with, all kinds of art to feed your soul, and a great blue-grass band originally out of New Orleans to lift your spirit even higher. I felt like I stepped back in time to a little child like peace when everyone’s art was encouraged, the whole was committed to the organization's mission, and all are made to feel welcome very unique in the art world.

Tick Tock by Richard Todd
which refers to two artists collaborating on a work of art; sculptors and mixed-medium artists, poets and photographers, photographers and painters, and so on. And, on the first floor the featured artists are students from the Fine Art Department at Edward R. Murrow High School of Brooklyn. There is no distinguishing these students' work from the rest of the show. Visit www.BWAC.org for more about the show.
