Another Busy Brooklyn Weekend

There are so many events going on in Brooklyn this weekend, especially on Saturday, that it would be helpful if one had the ability to be in two or three places at one time. We already posted about the tenth annual Gowanus Artist's Studio tour, so we'll focus on several events that we haven't had time to mention.

The good people at Across the Park emailed us about ArtMart the other day and also posted it, and we think it's a very cool thing to highlight. Here's what ATP had to say:
Be sure to check out ArtMart 11225 this Saturday. About 30 vendors or so will be setting up shop on the sidewalks of Lincoln Rd. This will also be your first chance to check out Enduro, which is having a soft opening on the same day and will be serving beer (some of the proceeds will benefit PLUS and PLGArts).

From what we've heard ArtMart 11225 is going to be a great event thanks to the hard work of PLUS and PLGArts. Make it worth their while - check out the artists and (dare we say) buy something!

The Brooklyn Indie Market, which held a show at the Old Stone House in Park Slope this summer, is holding an event on October 21 (Saturday) at Cobble Hill Park, which is that wonderful little gem of a neighborhood park at Congress and Clinton Streets.

The event will take place from 10AM-5PM, and the rain date is Saturday, Oct. 28 (which certainly doesn't seem like it will be needed, as tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and breezy, with highs in the upper fifties). It will offer "chic selections from the next crop of on the rise designers in apparel, handbags, jewelry, childrenĀ¹s apparel, menswear, home goods and more."

The Brooklyn Indie Market is a collective of local fashion and product designers. Designers include Daisyhead Designs, which makes cool stuff for tots, among other things, Pixie petals jewelry and Nattyoma, which makes hand painted glassware. Check it out. There's only, you know, a couple of months until the holidays.

Last, but certainly not least, we have the Red Hook Harvest Fest, an affair that promises a lot of food, plus things like pumpkin carving, a cider press, tours of the Red Hook Community Farm, farm animals and more. It takes place from 9AM-5PM on the Community Farm, which is located at Columbia and Beard Street. More information over at the Added Value website.

Doesn't look like anyone's come up with an instant cloning device, though.
