anyone know any artist community in bedstuy?

well, I'm trying something new. I basically wanna try and socialize myself with people who share the same interest as i do. I live in bedstuy Brooklyn, and wondering if theres any places, where i can be around fellow artists. I'm also trying to improve what talent i have, by seeing what other people can do with their hands and imagination.

My question, just like the subject is "is there any place, where i can get together with other artist, who share the same interest. I wouldn't mind traveling out side of Bed Stuy to places like Fort Greene, Park Slope or Clinton hill.

if anyone know of any art galleries that would help too.
