Two oyster-related events coming up in Brooklyn:

This week: 
The third annual Billion Oyster Party is taking over Pioneer Works in Red Hook on Thursday, May 19, from 6 to 10 p.m.  More than 40 oyster farmers will be shucking and serving up their delicacies and some of the city’s top restaurants will be presenting bites. More on the Billion Oyster Party here

In June:
From June 2 to June 30, NYC Oyster Project and Brooklyn Arts Council will partner with Brooklyn Bridge Park to present 'NYC Oyster Project.'

Inspired by Brooklyn's native oyster reefs, this immersive installation will feature color photographs of artist Colleen Flanigan's underwater sculptures and an installation of Judith Pleva's unbound multimedia scrapbook.

The show's opening will take place on Thursday, June 2, 2016, from 5 PM - 7 PM at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Community Room at 99 Plymouth Street in Brooklyn.

A talk with the artists and curator will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 1 PM at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Community Room at 99 Plymouth Street in Brooklyn. The talk is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
