It was another one-night-only pop-up group show, Bring Your Own Art, highlighting work that exists outside the city's traditional gallery system.
For a few hours the other evening, this East Village space filled with paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces that were immediate and personal — art meant to be seen, shared, and talked about among friends.
While it's fun to just happen upon a show like this, the organizer did invite us... and everyone here gave explicit consent to be photographed...
The show drew a crowd of young artists and friends. There was an easy, communal energy to the night, with people swapping stories, trading feedback and taking in a wide range of styles and ideas.
It was less about the setting and more about the moment — a reminder that the city's art scene still thrives in temporary, DIY spaces that exist for a night and then disappear.
