So unless you've been living under a rock here in NY you know there's an artistic explosion going on. Specifically in the borough of Brooklyn there is evidence all over of resident artists making their presence known. Nowhere is this more apparent than the artist co-op known as Creative Heights (770 ST MARKS Ave.) On this past Saturday 10/11 painters, musicians, poets and other artists of all types converged on one block in Crown Heights, Brooklyn to celebrate expression. Now Creative Heights is a converted apartment building which is home to some of the illest painters, singers, rappers, photographers and other artisans in the city. Saturday was the opening for the in house studio. Now what studio opening would be complete without food, beverage and art to adorn the walls. All of the above was in effect on this beautiful day (you know the kid had his bike out). The day was filled with performances mixed with everything from rocking out singers like Cactuz Tree and his band to groups like Investigative Reports with the Afro Punk crew repping on the scene as well(Creative Heights is home to members of the band Game Rebellion). This event put together by Ms. Sara Hart pulled together the usual suspects of the Brooklyn Arts scene (cats like Michael July, The CDTBK crew, Concept, Richard Louissaint...etc) A beautiful mural was painted by two of the most beautiful artists in the city Fly Lady Di and Crystal Clarity (see pics). My good friend Kris had some very nice pieces hanging in the gallery as well. All in all this was a great launch for another positive movement in the community. Take some time and go down to St. Marks bet. New York and Nostrand for an fine art experience right up the block.
