There’s a chill in the air, but things are about to heat up in Bushwick, which hosts the first October edition of its annual Bushwick Open Studios art bash this weekend.

Now in it’s tenth edition, BOS has moved from June to October in an effort to put the focus back on one-on-one interactions with the artists, who are the event’s signature attraction. This means no more NEWD art show, (reportedly) fewer large-scale parties, and more unfettered access to the spaces where artists hone their craft.
