About two years ago, she first became aware of street art while walking through Williamsburg. It was a piece by Swoon that literally stopped her in her tracks and opened her eyes to the beauty of non-commercial art on the streets. Excited and motivated by what she saw, she started photographing the ephemeral art wherever she could find it. Join us Thursday June 21 in support of local artists. Refreshments, including Sixpoint Craft Ales, Brooklyn's best beer, will be served. RSVP to brooklyn@dwr.com by June 19.

EXHIBITS INSIDE BOUTIQUES, SHOPS, & RESTAURANTS
Now thru June 1st (Fri)
A Candy-Coated Time Capsule - paintings by Kenneth Kudulis @ Serimony
421 Court Street (btwn 2nd & 3rd), 718-797-0679, www.serimony.com. Opening Reception and Cocktails with the Artist Friday, April 27, 6 to 9 PM. Kenneth's newest pieces are a vibrant look at days gone by, with astonishing witticism. His clever take on early 20th Century imagery and his use of color has made for a graphically bold collection and makes us realize the relevance of these images today, as refelcted in pieces such as "Shhhh!" and "Pin-up". Provoking and vivid, these paintings will be on exhibition and for sale through June 1.
