Artists use store windows as canvasses in Bay Ridge show
Store windows on Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge will become mini-art galleries in May, thanks to a unique program designed to bring together art, commerce and the community.
The Sixth Annual Fifth Avenue Storefront Art Walk will take place starting May 16 in stores on Fifth Avenue between 68th and 84th streets.
The Fifth Avenue Storefront Art Walk, nicknamed SAW by its organizers, teams artists up with merchants to create memorable works of art tailored specifically to the participating stores. This year there will be 15 artists working with a variety of visual media to present individual art projects in the storefront windows.
To whet the appetite of art lovers, the organizers of SAW 2015 have announced the list of participating artists. The artists are: Marisa Tesauro, Salim Hasbini, Ray Lin, Sebastian Carrasco, Julia Whitney Barnes, Deanna Lee, Amanda Hunt, Jeannine Bardo, Liz Atzberger, Margeaux Walter, Katherine Toukhy, Christina Massey, Kristine Robinson, Yeol Jung and Isabelle Garbani.
