CastleBraid

In September, Castle Braid hosted the first incarnation of BROOKLYN ARTILLERY, bringing together the best of Brooklyn Arts and Music under one giant roof.

The exhibition was launched with a two-night event showcasing the collective power of Brooklyn’s best creative minds. The galleries of the Williamsburg Gallery Association populated the open apartments and chic garden duplexes of Castle Braid with works by up-and- coming and established artists. Some reinvented and reimagined the blank canvas of a living space; others created a bona fide miniature gallery with wine and cheese receptions and curated rotations of works. On the ground floor and in the landscaped shade of the enclosed courtyard, performers treated guests to a living, breathing artistic / musical experience, while on designated walls specially invited street and graffiti artists notorious to our neighborhood were given the freedom to transform without the threat of repercussion.
