Bklyn Designs + BWAC Pier Art Show = Brooklyn Hyperbole + Weekend Activities

So much going on locally this weekend that Boro Prez Marty Markowitz has, in the enthusiastic Markowitzian way, officially proclaimed it "What a Weekend in Brooklyn!"

Reasons include:

The Bklyn Designs show in Dumbo from May 12-14 that runs at St. Ann's Warehouse on Water Street and other locations. The show features the work of more than 50 local designers. (GL's photo, above, took 2nd place in the design*sponge Bklyn Designs Photo contest, but we're not biased.)

The annual Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition cool Pier Show on Beard Street in pre-Ikea Red Hook that opens Saturday, May 13 and runs through June 18 (open weekends only, from 1PM-7PM).
