Bay Ridge\u2019s<\/a> long-running Art Walk series continued its community-spirit on March 21, as residents gathered along Third Avenue for the 14th installment. Titled \u201cEmbrace Winter,\u201d this neighborhood tradition has celebrated local creativity for over a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event<\/a>, organized by the Bay Ridge Community Council for the Arts and Culture (BRCCA), invited attendees to explore a curated stretch of Third Avenue, where artists displayed their work in storefronts and public spaces. Participants met at noon at Cosentino\u2019s Fish Market to begin the walk, which cost $20 and included opportunities to hear directly from artists about their pieces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis festival, \u2018Embrace Winter,\u2019 is now in its 14th year,\u201d Victoria Hofmo, founder of the BRCCA Art and Cultural Alliance, said. \u201cWe\u2019ve hosted several events throughout the season, and this is our final one. Today we\u2019re here celebrating art, culture and community all coming together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the afternoon, participants moved from stop to stop, engaging with artists who shared the inspiration behind their work. The walk emphasized not only visual art, but also storytelling \u2014 a hallmark of the series since its inception.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Hofmo, the roots of the event are humble.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Art Walk started in a simple way,\u201d she said. \u201cThere was a small sewing space opening up, and the idea was to put some fashion illustrations on display. Around the same time, a friend was cooking from home, and we talked about adding recipes and reflections on how we live our lives. That\u2019s what really drew me in \u2014 bringing art, food and storytelling together.\u201d<\/p>\n

That spirit remained evident in this year\u2019s Art Walk showcase. One installation at Cosentino\u2019s tied into the upcoming Norwegian Day Parade<\/a> on May 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s [parade] theme, \u2018The Legacy Continues,\u2019 made me think about the deep Scandinavian roots here in Bay Ridge,\u201d Hofmo said about her work at Cosentino\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bay Ridge\u2019s Art Walk celebrated its 14th installment on March 21, drawing crowds from all over the borough…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[72691,7727,72692,98,100,99,29332,72693,72694,8601,9,24,12,370,63,5841,18816],"class_list":["post-179928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-art-walk","tag-bay-ridge","tag-brcca","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-community-events","tag-embrace-winter","tag-local-art","tag-neighborhood-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-news","tag-newsletter","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-culture","tag-third-avenue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
