Small Works for Big Change September 1 – October 31, 2020
September 16, 2020
Small Works for Big Change is an online art sale and fundraiser that brings together the work of artists based at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. All works are small in both stature—no larger than 24” x 24” x 24″—as well as price—not exceeding $600. All proceeds go directly to artists, with all artists donating a portion of their proceeds to the charity of their choice. Work featured includes photographs, painting, prints, furniture, and sculpture.
During this unprecedented crisis, artists and designers have been some of the hardest hit economically due to COVID-19. This exhibition was organized by the Yard as part of its mission to support its creative community through direct sales opportunities. Small Works also serves as an initiative to support charities working tirelessly to support communities during this pandemic.
The virtual exhibit will run over the course of two sessions: September 1-30 and October 1-31. Work will rotate and be added throughout both sessions, with many works created as limited editions and made available specifically for this opportunity.
Participating Artists (Session One): Nina Edwards Anker, Tatiana Arocha, Nadia Belalia, Millie Benson, Paul Campbell, JC Cancedda, Robert Clark, Chris Cloutier, Noël Copeland, Nick Golebiewski, Evan Hughes Studio, Christina Jorro, Connor Lambrecht, Monique Luchetti, Jackie Meier, Amanda Pelham, Carleen Sheehan, Skilset, Pamela Talese

NYPL125 Paintings
August 12, 2020
To celebrate NYPL 125, The Hudson Park Library asked me to paint the branch libraries of Lower Manhattan. We have to wait to exhibit these watercolors in person at the Hudson Park Library but we decided to start with an online exhibition!
Archival prints of the paintings are available online and I’m donating a portion from each sale to the library.
Plus, we made a coloring book zine featuring the New York Public Library Branches of Lower Manhattan. Download your own e-zine! You can also ask us for a print copy when you reserve and pick up your items at Hudson Park Library!

Zoom and Draw the Earth to the Sky: Westbeth and the Far West Village
Friday, August 14, 2:00pm
In this delightful, interactive event, artist Nick Golebiewski will explore Westbeth and its Far West Village environs. We’ll start at the Abingdon Square farmer’s market, and sketch everything from flowers on sale at the market to the incredible industrial architecture of Westbeth, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
Our guide, Villager Nick Golebiewski, posts one Instagram photo each day – a quick sketch, usually something architectural in his West Village neighborhood. Nick will take us through the sites and their histories, and give sketching tips and tricks for drawing the sites and details. No artistic ability or experience necessary, just pen/pencil and paper, for our virtual lesson. Draw inspiration from the natural and architectural landscape of the area, as well as its rich creative legacy.
RSVP for the Zoom link.

‘It was absolutely beautiful’: NYC artist sketches iconic Cape Breton scenes
July 18, 2019
Nick Golebiewski has been doing a daily sketch, wherever he is, for 6 years
Wendy Martin · CBC News · Posted: Jul 18, 2019 2:03 PM AT | Last Updated: July 18
A New York artist has sketched some iconic scenes of Cape Breton, sometimes in scarcely more time than it takes to snap a photo.
Nick Golebiewski has been doing one sketch a day, every day, since January 1, 2014, as part of a New Year’s resolution.
Usually, they show spots near where he lives and works in New York City. But for 10 days this July, it was scenes from a family trip to Cape Breton.
“Every day I’ll make a drawing on site, somewhere,” Golebiewski said in an interview with CBC Cape Breton’s Mainstreet. “Whether it’s in front of a skyscraper, or in front of a rolling mountain and beautiful horizon where you see the sea.”
Golebiewski made time for the sketches while camping and hiking in Cape Breton with his wife and two children, ages two and four.
He said they typically take between five and 15 minutes to draw, although sometimes it’s “just 30 seconds”.
He said after taking months, sometimes years, to complete a painting, it’s a “breath of relief” to have something he can finish every day.
Golebiewski found a bounty of material in Cape Breton.
“It was absolutely beautiful,” he said. “I didn’t want to stop drawing or painting ever there.”
His sketches include a waterfall, a rocky coastline, a fishing boat, the Skyline Trail in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, and the bell tower at the Fortress of Louisbourg.
“That drawing is the most appropriate way of reproducing what you’re seeing there,” Golebiewski said of the fortress sketch, “since photographs didn’t exist in the 1700s. It’s very accurate for the period.”
Golebiewski has posted the sketches on various social media sites, including his Twitter feed.
One of his insights from doing a daily sketch?
“It’s good to just pause for a moment every day and just really look at what’s around you.”
