Welcome to Brooklyn, the land of studios, galleries, and more fancy cocktails than you can shake a stick at. Braving this teeming culture can be a little overwhelming, so let me introduce you to your two new best friends: Pernod Absinthe Superieure, creator of art history’s most inspirational spirit, and WAGMAG, the Brooklyn art guide. The two have teamed up to bring you the mobile app of the millenium.

This app features WAGMAG’S monthly gallery and events listings, as well as the best cocktail lounges in the arty-party nabe of Williamsburg. The app features GPS mapping guiding you to the nearest art-and-drinks hot spots, and Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare integration so you can know who is where and what’s happening – right now.

The Art & Absinthe Guide to Brooklyn has just been improved to offer an even better user experience, with easier navigation and more geo-location capabilities.

For more information or to download the app for iPhone or Android visit artandabsinthebk.com.

The Inaugural Edition of Art Southampton presented by Art Miami July 26-30 is proving to be catnip for savvy young collectors and groups from up and down the East Coast.

Art Southampton has already won the support of numerous prominent collectors, philanthropists and major art world figures, who call The Hamptons home, many of whom are serving on its prestigious Host Committee. They have also made a concerted effort to reach out to the next generation of collectors.
