3rd Ward provides many events and resources for its members, creative professionals, and the New York artistic community at large. Having just opened a second location in Brooklyn, this organization is more active than ever, providing classes, studio space, exhibitions, parties, and more. I most recently attended an exhibition to celebrate their new space, which featured a live chicken running around amongst the guests. 

On November 21st from 1-7PM, 3rd Ward will be hosting - SCORE! Pop-up Swap. This is a massive free exchange of clothes, music, art supplies, books, DVDs, etc. Entry is $3 and donations will be accepted until 5PM. Just one of many exciting cultural events being held at 3rd Ward.
