The event is a natural extension of how the thriving urban art community unites with the neighborhood.

Each year the SONYA Studio Stroll gets better; enticing more interest and pulling together some of the most dynamic artists, not only in Brooklyn but in the country. This years Studio Stroll promises to be an exciting event, displaying an eclectic range of mediums by talented artists.

The 2-day long event showcases the broad range of fine art from established Brooklyn artists and many that have never been exhibited before illuminating the visual power of each artist. Making the weekend a real community event, restaurants and retailers participate in the Stroll with exhibits, special offers, and promotions.
