Greenpoint Open Studios Returns with Over 260 Artists
The Greenpoint Open Studios festival returned to Brooklyn, New York, on May 30–31, 2026, showcasing the work of over 260 artists in various locations. Originally launched in 2011 as part of the Northside Festival, the event had a successful comeback in 2023 after being paused for three years due to the pandemic. Notable displays included Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell's solo show titled 'it's crowded' at Yashar Gallery, featuring her cartoons from The New Yorker, alongside Amanda Browder's fabric art project.
