November 2 at 8pm
Pioneer Works · Red Hook
A night of Czech experimental art where cinema bleeds into real life. Valentýna Janů's neo-noir video, shot partly at Pioneer Works, gets punctuated by live performance, while Vojtěch Fröhlich scales the building itself, with music by 33 to close.
November 2 at 12pm +5
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.
November 4 at 5pm +14
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.
November 5 at 3pm +16
The Shirley Project Space · Crown Heights
A sun-drenched neighborhood gallery with serious heart: The Shirley Project Space champions Brooklyn-based women artists, pairing each show with lively readings, performances, and conversations at openings and closings.
November 5 at 12pm +43
Welancora Gallery · Bedford-Stuyvesant
Guyanese-born artist Carl E. Hazlewood takes over with bold, layered works spanning painting, collage, and installation. A thoughtful solo show from a Bedford-Stuyvesant art world fixture.

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.
