A TRIP TO THE
BROOKLYN NAVY YARD
TO VISIT THE STUDIO
OF
NICK GOLEBIEWSKI
JUDITH BERDY
If this sounds familiar, here we go again:
Nick Golebiewski’s Studio Sale in the Brookly Navy Yard.
I set out on the 12:27 p.m. NYC Ferry to the Yard,
to the studio and sale of Nick Golebiewski, this time on the correct date.
Nick’s is the artist that daily publishes his Lunchbox art
Nick’s studio is in the Navy Yard, which can be challenging to get around.
The easiest way to find his space is enter the Yard at the Cumberland Avenue Gate. Building 280 is right inside the entrance. You need a visitor pass to enter the Yard and wait until next time Nick announces that his studio will be open.
Building 280 is jut inside the Cumberland Gate on Flushing Avenue.
Nick’s studio is full, wall-to-wall with his artworks,
Prints, photos, notecards are all for sale. It is so much fun to recognize his New York street scenes.
Nick is a Buffalo native who arrived in Brooklyn 20 years ago.
This Chinatown scene took months to complete.
You are welcome to look thru his Sketchbooks? Can you identify this structure and it’s Island connection?
The view from his studio is spectacular and overlooking the Willamsburg Bridge
After leaving the Yard, we grabbed an UBER to a real Brooklyn landmark, Juniors!! I had never been there before and lunch was great.
The cheesecake was WONDERFUL!!!
Right on the corner of Flatbush Avenue, and steps from the Q train!!!
| Ellen and David Jacoby joined me on this adventure, since Ellen is a Brooklyn native!!! |
