This week at ART YARD BKLYN, there was a trajectory into history, an honoring of the past, and a few unexpected crossings along the way.

AYB artists stay busy this summer—making, exploring, traveling, visiting exhibitions, reading, and sharing inspiration from Brooklyn to Paris, Maine to Rio.

Mid-August AYB art news, exhibitions to see, music to listen to, books we recommend and a show to see TONIGHT!

Art updates, exhibitions near and far we loved, and some excellent books you might like.

The satisfying results of a good closet clean up, plus what we have been up to in the studio, and art we have seen here, there and everywhere!
