Ciao collectors!
Once again two of the greatest pleasure on our planet--art and food--will collide to entice and fill your senses when MadArts throws open their studio doors for one and all this weekend in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Added incentive: recent 20x200 edition artist Jaclyn Mednicov will be participating in the tour.

On May 16th and 17th Madarts ends six months of darkness and goes public with their Spring Open Studio Tour - an invitation into the South Slope warehouse-turned-art-shop that happens only twice a year. The tour includes over 40 artists' paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, film and video. The hours are noon to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday at the Madarts Building, 255 18th Street at 5th Avenue in Brooklyn. The crew puts on a solid, no frills art show in a gloriously makeshift and perfectly makeshift DIY warehouse space. The tour offers a peek into the private art studios where artists host individual receptions for their newest bodies of work.

Besides several new food and drink offerings in striking distance, it's an easy destination: R train to Prospect Ave. or F train at 4th Ave. and 9th St. get you there in as little as two blocks. Madarts is located just above Fifth Ave. on 18th St. between Fifth and Sixth Ave. The nearest subway stop is Prospect Ave. on the R line. Exit the station using the stairs on the left. Walk straight from the stairs on Fourth Ave. to 18th St. Make a left at 18th St. Cross Fifth Ave. Look for a large white industrial building. Enter at the girded glass window front filled with greenery.

Hope to see you there!
