October 28 at 8pm
Roulette Intermedium · Boerum Hill • $20-$25
A painting that plays itself: as Heidi Howard brushes her canvas, Liz Phillips turns every stroke, plus live fish, into an aquatic soundscape via theremin and sensors. Six video feeds splash it all across the big screen.
October 28 at 4pm +19
Smack Mellon · Dumbo
Thirty years of nurturing artists gets the retrospective treatment. This group show turns "work" inside out, exposing the hidden sweat behind creativity through installations that trace labor across bodies, machines, and communities.
Oct. 29 & Oct. 30 at 12pm
The Bishop · Williamsburg
Ten years of grief, alchemized into paint. King David's solo show transforms the loss of his father and grandmother into luminous abstractions on copper, wood, and plexiglass: a living archive of memory and hope.
Every day at 12pm from Oct. 17 to Nov. 7
Court Tree Collective · Sunset Park
City life gets a little weirder and a lot funnier in Andrew Chan's portraits. His sharply observed scenes turn the everyday urban shuffle into something psychologically charged, comic, and strangely familiar.
Every day from Oct. 22 to Nov. 22
Open Source Gallery Inc. · Sunset Park
Storefront roll-up gates unfurl like weathered scrolls in Roger Ferney-Cortés's hands. The Colombian-American artist bends corrugated steel into sculptures that trace the city's dents, graffiti, and hidden rhythms.
October 28 at 6pm
M.PATMOS · Boerum Hill
Watch fashion and art blur beautifully: Studio Isabelle Ormieres unveils botanical-dyed collages and larger works, while Sabina Magnus shows silk scarves dyed with plants. One evening only at Brooklyn's loveliest little boutique.
Browse Brooklyn neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
