One Eyed Studios at Ridgewood Open Studios:

A neighborhood-wide weekend of art, process, and open doors

On May 9–10, 12–6pm, One Eyed Studios joins the wider Ridgewood community for Ridgewood Open Studios 2026—an annual event that invites the public inside working artist spaces across the neighborhood.

Located at 1639 Centre St, Ridgewood, One Eyed Studios will be open throughout the weekend, with Members welcoming visitors into their studios to share work, process, and the day-to-day reality of maintaining a creative practice.

What To Expect

Across both days, visitors can move through the building and experience a range of practices up close—from painting and sculpture to design, fabrication, and multidisciplinary work.

In addition to open studios, the weekend will include:

Exhibitions presented within studio spaces

Workshops and demonstrations led by participating artists

Opportunities to meet artists and learn more about their work directly

This is not a traditional exhibition setting—it’s a chance to see how work is actually made.

A Part of the Ridgewood Community

Ridgewood Open Studios brings together artists, studios, and creative spaces across the neighborhood, creating a city-wide draw and a shared moment of visibility for the local arts community.

At One Eyed Studios, this weekend offers a snapshot of the building as it functions day-to-day: active, varied, and grounded in process.

A Space to step into

Alongside open studios, a number of available spaces will also be open and viewable throughout the building. For those considering a studio, this is a rare opportunity to walk through empty spaces, get a feel for the layout and light, and imagine how your own work could live here.

Participating Studios

Studio 138 Alexander Brewington

Alexander Brewington is a Brooklyn based figurative painter, with a BFA from St. John’s University, 2018, and a MFA from Pratt Institute, 2023. His painting practice uses color and supernatural elements to explore and reveal the complex emotions and hidden thoughts that lie beneath the surface of the human experience. His work has been featured in Hyperallergic, Canvas Rebel, New Visionary Magazine and E-flux Education. He was awarded a Pratt Fellowship to attend the 2023 Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.

Studio 146 Ali Sutton

Sutton’s practice explores her relationship with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, drawing inspiration from fairy tales and mythology to create paintings that evoke the fantastical and strange, as they often use metaphors and stories to describe human experiences.The work feels otherworldly and out of touch with reality due to the exciting, unnatural colors and peculiar scenes, meant to evoke the dissociative state of OCD. Animals are used to represent varying aspects and emotions tied to Sutton’s experiences, and are seen interacting with her own vulnerable likeness throughout the work. Sutton practice elicits interest and provides space for discussions around mental health.

EXHIBITIONS TO SEE

Third Floor: A Room in Common

Studio 120

Third Floor: A Room in Common, curated by Jahlik Parkes and Aaron Benjamin Cohen, is a collaborative installation by six artists working in close proximity on the third floor of Rockella’s Brown Bears Studios in East New York.

The project reconstructs a shared interior—an imagined apartment space built through the distinct material practices of each artist. Rather than presenting discrete works, the exhibition treats space itself as the primary medium. Painting, textile, photography, and wood fabrication are translated into architectural elements—walls, partitions, surfaces, and objects—forming a fragmented yet cohesive domestic environment. Each artist contributes to the construction of the space, resulting in overlapping zones that reflect the realities of adjacency, cohabitation, and creative exchange.

The installation draws on the lived condition of being neighbors—sharing walls, sounds, and atmospheres—while maintaining individual identities. Boundaries blur between authorship and collaboration, private and collective space, structure and surface. Rooted in East New York and shaped by the daily proximity of the artists’ studios, the project reflects on how environments influence making, and how shared space produces dialogue across disciplines.

The exhibition will remain open throughout May, with an opening on May 8 and public engagement moments including artist talks and open studio access.

Participating Artists: Tarik Welch, Aaron Benjamin Cohen, Jean Rim, Cole Douglas, JAH-P Design, and Nima Azizpour

Under an ancient flood of light, lilies!

Studio 179

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin..if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you.
The sun falls on my head like a priestly hand—the gentleness of its blessing is almost enraging—why won’t it slap me, why won’t it push me, why won’t it force me to become better than I am.
-Ariana Reines, A Sand Book

that you would actually care for each other
at least that you would understand
grief is distributed
between you, among all your kind, for me
to know you, as deep blue
marks the wild scilla, white
the wood violet.
-Louise Glück, April

Lilies of the Valley
DON’T DO A DAMN THING
Yet our Presents
is FELT
like an Anarchist
BECAUSE
We do in deed
EXIST
-Lily Bea Moor /aka/ Senga Nengudi

Considered through the lens of spring light, lilies and ecstatic worship, in an environment which heightens oxytocin, as heart racingly described in Mallarmé’s A Faun’s Afternoon, the works in Under an ancient flood of light, lilies! contemplate nature’s bounty, floods both emotional and water logged, feelings both sensual and alarming, destruction, repair and being shown grace: the potential of being saved and cared for in a world bent backwards by war.

Works include Marcy Chevali’s netted vessels brimming with light, like a gathering of exalted animals, amplifying each other’s delicate strength. Isa Dorvillier’s quilted friezes stitching disparate and overlapping moments from the archives; a man bleeding gas lines in Ridgewood, women carrying children across floodplains, the labors of reproduction and protection extending over each other and becoming one, and the tall, graceful phragmites, eternal watchers by the shore, abiding and blowing in the wind. Rhonda Khalifeh’s textiles, overlaid with accumulated layers of dye, time and toil, embody an effortless gestural quality whenever they visit, confidently filling the space they know well from their past lives. Angélica Maria Millán Lozano’s intentionally unravelled cloths, elegant in their threadbare state, sing their secret texts interlocking in celestial loops and braids.

Participating Artists: Marcy Chevali, Isa Dorvillier Rhonda Khalifeh, and Angélica Maria Millán Lozano.
