The works of
100 artists will be featured as part of the latest Brooklyn Working
Artists Coalition exhibit, "The Brooklyn Painters Show 2003,"
which opens Saturday.
This first annual painting extravaganza will kick off with an
opening reception on Sept. 13, from noon to 6 pm, inside the
atmospheric warehouse at 499 Van Brunt St. at Beard Street, on
the Red Hook waterfront. Enjoy live music and refreshments while
you wander among the canvases by established and emerging artists,
including Ritchard Rodriguez’s "Orion the Hunger (for Jack
K)," a painting in celebration of "Captain America"
and "X-Men" illustrator Jack Kirby.
On Sept. 14 and Sept. 28, at 3 pm, Brave New World Repertory
Theatre will perform selected scenes from Shakespeare’s works
at the warehouse.
The "Painters Show" will be on display Saturdays and
Sundays, noon-6 pm, until Oct. 4, when it will wrap with a silent-auction
closing ceremony. For more information, call (718) 596-2507 or
