Brooklyn’s annual celebration of local art and artists is almost here. This May, the Atlantic Avenue ArtWalk will welcome Brooklynites and art lovers to explore 1.5 miles of public art, galleries, restaurants, and businesses.
Works from more than 150 emerging businesses will be hung in over 60 businesses along Atlantic Avenue, turning the thoroughfare into a public gallery. Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the bustling tree-lined streets, pop into local businesses, visit open galleries, and try out any of the many locally owned restaurants serving up unique dishes.
The art walk, organized by the Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation, will be held from May 10-18th, stretching from Fourth Avenue to the waterfront.

“It’s just an eclectic way to explore Atlantic Avenue,” said Thoren Vadala, owner of Make a Frame. “ We really have a great community of local businesses working along that strip thats somehow magically remained mostly local.”
Make a Frame is an independent custom framing shop that has been on Atlantic Avenue since 1978 and joined ArtWalk four years ago. The local establishment supports local artists, framing archival and fine artworks, and offers screen printing classes.
Vadala said the event is a great opportunity to show people what they do in the shop and spark a connection for “ new conversations and new friends.”
“It’s just a really great community ecosystem,” added Valdal.

Howard Kolins, the Local Development Corporation’s Acting Executive Director, described the event as a “perfect marriage” between art and commerce.
“We want everyone to walk the avenue while they enjoy the art and discover beautiful merchandise. After you’ve walked for a while, take a break at one of our wonderful restaurants,” he said.
The Atlantic Avenue ArtWalk will be held from Saturday, May 10 through Sunday, May 18t, from noon to 6 p.m. each day, though the hours of each participating business may vary.
