NY Art Beat Team Launch Party

NYAB jumped right on. After all, what’s better than a “penthouse” or beat-up but appealing fourth floor of a former warehouse for this kind of event?

NY Art Beat somewhat postponed launch finally happened on April 26 and the NYAB team promptly celebrated it with a small party a day after. The NYAB event editors, who had spontaneously helped creating the database of over 800 venues and nearly 1000 events and the writers who contributed their first blog entries finally got out, away from their monitors and gathered meeting many others behind the project.

The party took place in an industrial building- turned artist studios called IS1 Studios in Long Island City, Queens, one stop away, past the East River, from the Grand Central. One of the artist working there offered her studio for the get-together. NYAB jumped right on. After all, what’s better than a “penthouse” or beat-up but appealing fourth floor of a former warehouse for this kind of event?

Aneta Glinkowska

Aneta Glinkowska. Aneta, aka perke, was born and raised in the part of Poland where bagels and bialys allegedly come from. She did not taste either until she first arrived in NYC in her late teens. She fancies herself a photographer, moving image-maker, swimmer, writer and reader. She is hoping to be immortalized as perke in a Ryu Murakami novel, and then perhaps make a movie loosely based on it. In addition to helping run NYAB, Aneta shoots video interviews for TAB and NYAB. She is also on the lookout for gigs with NYC-based filmmakers. » See other writings

    Thanks. I hope you’re already having fun using, perhaps our most precious weapon, MyNYAB, which allows the users to organize their gallery visits and generates the “Most Popular” list. Make your profile public, by changing the private default to public for even more interaction. As an art blogger, you might also like the review feature, which allows you to comment on any of the listed events, link your own entries about those events and do all other typical comment stuff.
    And then you have NYABlog, which is not very active yet, but we’re building the team and try to up things frequently.

    Thanks for “participating.”
