Under the Radar: Brooklyn Urban Arts Market

The massively overhyped Brooklyn Flea market has gotten all the outer borough buzz this summer, yet somehow another nearby weekend afternoon shindig has flown under the radar.

The Brooklyn Urban Arts Market has been going on every other Sunday this summer, with booths from local artisans and vendors, and food from a variety of restaurants along Myrtle Avenue.

A project of the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Afro-Punk Festival, the market has also been bringing out an impressive and eclectic line-up of live music, including British rapper Slick Rick this past Sunday. Next up: Bronx DJ legend Afrika Bambaataa on September 7.
