Long Island City artists invite you to explore an arts haven just one subway stop from Midtown Manhattan. See the work of sculptors, painters, scenic designers, jewelry and craft-makers, visual media and performance artists, as they open their work spaces to the public Saturday and Sunday afternoon, May 30th and 31st, 2009.

You won’t find sterile boutique galleries or headline-oriented sculptures made from poo. But you will discover real artists showing their current works in the midst of creation. Open Studios is organized by LIC Artists, Inc (LICA), which created the annual events more than two decades ago so local artists could meet each other and network among themselves.
