Parker’s Box

I like Art Galleries in general for three reasons:
1) They’re free (no admission fee ever)
2) You don’t get stared or watched at like if you’re a criminal (the gallery staff basically are on their laptops most of the time and are very laid-​back)
3) You can take pictures of the artwork
Parker’s Box is a great space for artwork by local artists. I really enjoyed my visit here and saw some creative work here!
Will be back to check out new pieces in the near future!

A cool space on Grand, sitting between shopping stores, a salon, and various restaurants. It’s an interesting space, walking in you’re entering a small hallway. With the glass storefront, it makes sense that they build a wall here to seclude the inner space. Inside is a large room, and tonight there were some pieces on display which at first looked like photographs. But they were actually some sort of metal laminate. They looked like the surface of the mood in various materials, from silver & coal to copper & gold. Really soothing and relaxing affect. Walking towards the rear of the space is another smaller room as well.
TOnight they had a small party going, with drinks, and hipsters everywhere!

I have lived in Williamsburg for two years now, and I love wandering through Parker’s Box and checking out their new shows.
I’ve only been to one opening, It was for Patrick Martinez’s show, and it didn’t feel «scene“y at all. Everyone was there to look at the art and it felt really nice.
I recommend stopping in after brunch, or after a haircut at Commune. It’s always a highlight of my day when I do.
