Upcoming Events

ALL ARTISTS, NO MONEY **The Brooklyn Art Swap is an evening of direct exchange between artists.** No sales. No prices. Just artists trading their own work with one another. When you arrive, you’ll find a place to display what you’ve brought—on the walls or on tables—and spend the evening meeting other artists and seeing what connections form. Some exchanges happen quickly. Others take time. Some happen through quiet recognition across the room. You’re welcome to briefly share a few words about your work, or simply let it speak for itself. The evening closes with an optional lottery-style exchange, where chance may also guide where works land. **This is not a marketplace, but a shared ritual of circulation and trust—one that allows artworks to move directly between artists’ lives.** GALLERY 198 is located at 198 24th Street, in South Slope, Brooklyn. GUIDELINES: - You may bring up to three finished artworks - Please bring work that another artist could reasonably carry home that evening - Works should be ready to hang or otherwise easily displayed - You are responsible for bringing your work with you, and taking home what you receive - Open to artists based in Brooklyn and Queens - Limited to 35 artists You’re encouraged to share what you plan to bring ahead of time using #BrooklynArtSwap **Registration required.**

There's a reason she's been called "one of the best singers out there at the moment" by Saving Country Music. Nashville Americana artist Alice Wallace does not hide behind the microphone but uses it to amplify everything inside her champing to get out. Wallace moved to Nashville six years ago after more than a decade in southern California, and released her first Nashville-produced solo record Here I Am in June 2024 to wide praise. It’s a title that hints at her deeply personal, confessional songwriting style, one that invites the listener to gaze at her beating heart as each intimate secret pours out, propelled by a powerful, expressive delivery that marks her as one of the true vocal talents of her generation. Wallace grew up in a musical family, where voices like Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton were on heavy rotation on the family turntable and were huge influences on her as a budding singer and songwriter. Nowadays, Wallace tours full-time, bringing her personal songs and soaring vocals to venues across the country. She’s also one of the few modern singer/songwriters keeping the art of the country yodel alive. Wallace was named 2017 Female Vocalist of the Year by the California Country Awards, and previously released four solo albums. 2019’s Into the Blue, earned recognition from Rolling Stone Country with the title track being named one of the Best Americana Songs to Hear Now. This was followed by Lucky Break via Side Pony, a duo project with friend Caitlin Cannon that took the pair across the United States and Europe. Cuttingly self-exploring, delivered with emotionality, and with just the right pop Americana sensibilities, Here I Am is Alice Wallace’s most expansive album yet. For fans of songwriters who turn personal heartbreak into musical gold and for anyone who loves a powerful, full-ranged, expressive voice, Here I Am is not to be missed.
