Great recap of 2012! Wanted to call out the 5th Year for Brooklyn Studio Tours for 2013. It ran the Bay Ridge tour last year and are currently focusing on the 9th running artwalk in Red Hook & Carroll Gardens June 1 & 2, 2013. More info can be found on http://brooklynstudiotours.com
We would love to cross promote the other tours happening this year as well! Hoping all are smashing successes!
