We can’t wait for 3rd Ward’s Open House Party. It promises to be full of music, art, debauchery and even a little bit of good. That’s right, alldaybuffet will be there supporting the good that raucous art parties can bring to the world, so look for the booth and the alldaybuffet (not to be confused with the breakfast and the BBQ). Check out the details and we’ll see you there!

Saturday, April 12th
Breakfast: 11 – 1 pm | Workshops: 1 – 6 pm | Art Swap: 5 pm | After party/LIVE Music: 8 pm – 12 am
Address: 195 Morgan Avenue, at the corner of Stagg St., in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Multi-arts mega space 3rd Ward, in East Williamsburg, throws open it’s doors for a day of boozing, schmoozing and education—artist style. The day will feature an art swap, membership discounts and demos of the 20,000 sq. ft. space: photo studio, professional wood and metal shop, fully loaded digital media lab, and a 1200 sq. ft. art gallery.

The Open House will start with breakfast and end with BBQ and will include badminton, a costume photo shoot and half nude figure drawing sessions to the tunes of DJ Andrio Abero. Then, once attendees have filled their brain with information, their arms with art and their bellies with bbq, blues punk band the Wild Yaks will perform.
