THE LAB ITSELF

Artists of the 21st century, do you realize a new millennium is upon us?

"Bringing art and artists to the surface to inspire creativity and freedom of thought".

The Lab of Williamsburg are a new group of young but experienced writers, artists and creative minds working together to promote the development and enrichment of the arts in New York and also introducing new artistic styles and ideas.
We are offering artists the chance to expose their talents, learn from and be inspired by one another.

This event is first and foremost an informal event; there are no lectures and no suit-and-tie readings.
You, the audience, can socialise with the artists as they in their appropriate corners of the venue, showcase their work in a number of ways. The audience can then provide feedback, offer suggestions, and even share their own ideas and thoughts to the artists themselves.

We are not biased – everyone will be given an equal say, both artists within the project, and the audience themselves.

We are not limited by style, theme or outside influence. However, we will have certain standards of work which will be considered acceptable.

Artist’s Corners:

We will be showcasing a great range of styles, themes and talents, including much more contemporary work that is often overlooked in New York City. The artists will be representing their work in a number of ways, from informal readings and discussions as well as visually, in this way combining various art forms.
Using this method, we feel that the artists and audience can learn more and be further inspired than if each art form was individualized and also lead to discussions which will be of benefit to the artist himself, and also help inspire all involved.

Artists expose their works and ideas to fellow artists as friends. A relaxed atmosphere is imperative to the further stimulus of the creative mind.
We will be exhibiting a range of visual art and literature from other artists, from NYC  and abroad.
This will include poetry, prose, paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, film and more.
Insight to different styles and ideas will surely reap great benefit on the quality  of the artists' opus.

Come and be involve. Participate. Send your art work or visit us.
