Little things I am grateful for in January: gorgeous sunny mornings, leaving my office at 5pm in (sort of) day light, red eyes from the Wyckoff Starr, and art openings. There are plenty of them this week and this I’ve listed some Greater Bushwick luminaries who are taking it across the river.

There’s a full menu of shows at Silent Barn tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday.
