It is finally starting to feel like spring. Though there might be a cold snap on Wednesday... Yuck. Thankfully there is enough happening this week to help you ignore the last dredges of winter.

Surprisingly, Thursday is not the busiest day this week: it is a three way tie between Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

There are several benefits going on this week where you can contribute a lot or a little to the artists you love: "Brooklyn Artists Ball"  is being thrown by Sean Kelly, "Spring Benefit 2014" at Momenta Art, and there will also be Unix Gallery's "Launch of the Charity Museum Foundation".

There is much more to see and do -- read on ahead and find something that is sure to pique your interest!
