Founded by artist Jared Madere, Bed-Stuy Love Affair is a gallery that presents exhibitions by emerging artists. Initially hosted in Madere’s Brooklyn apartment, the gallery has recently become a mobile exhibition space housed in a 1978 RV. For the Block Party, Madere and artist Ben Schumacher created an installation that served as a literal gate to welcome visitors to the event as well as an environment in which the musician Gobby performed.
