Brooklyn Art Project (FriendFeed / Twitter) is a free online social network that connects 5500+ artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts from over 44 countries featuring over 44,000 artworks and 800+ short films and videos.
Members can participate in collaborative exhibits in Brooklyn and beyond while enjoying unlimited online gallery space, blogs, forums, chat, and tools to share / promote their artwork across the web.
I first learned about it via Anthony Cospito (Facebook / Twitter) two years ago, and signed up for an account. BAP has many events which nurture social interactions for typically anti-social artists - I even blogged about one some time ago. I have been meaning to go to some of these but never had the time. So when I found about the Flash Mob for Artists happening in DUMBO (2009-09-10), I decided to pay for a visit.
What's an Art Mob? An Art Mob is a flash mob for artists. Artists from all over the city show up and do collaborative drawings. ~ Brooklyn Art Project Blog
Here are some photographs taken at the event, together with short description about the artists. See also SML Flickr Sets: Brooklyn Art Project.
