On June 6 and 7th, 2015, I took part of a group art show, as part of the Bushwick Open Studios 2015 event. A new group, the Ridgewood Artists Coalition (RAC) had a showing at the historic Vander-Ende Onderdonk House.
Below are photos of some of the work from the group show:

While the show was happening, I decided to explore the Vander-Ende Onderdonk House itself.

The Vander-Ende Onderdonk House has quite a history, becoming landmarked in 1995. A kind gentleman took me on a tour of the house, starting downstairs with the colonial kitchen.

The show received media coverage since it was part of the Bushwick Open Studios 2015 event. Below is a link to one of the many news articles.
