I discovered after the panel that there was an active conversation happening in 140 characters and under throughout the night by @artfagcity, @powhida, @jamespanero, @ms\_kianga, @manbartlett, @ruschka, @debrahampton, @stephentruax, @terriciccone, @christinaray and @bushwickdaily. You can see many of their tweets at the following hashtags: [#bushwickarts](https://twitter.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com#!/search?q=%23bushwickarts) and [#BogartSalon](https://twitter.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com#!/search?q=%23BogartSalon).

Thank you to everyone who came out and this is only the beginning of a much larger conversation that will include a lot more people.
