FOOTPRINTS: ARTISTS RESPOND TO ATLANTIC YARDS CONTROVERSY OPENS TODAY

Footprints: Portraits of a Brooklyn Neighborhood. Artists respond to the Atlantic Yards controversy. The show opens today at Grand Space in Prospect Heights. 778 Bergen St. (top buzzer), between Washington Ave. and Grand Ave. (on the corner of Grand). The building is a 3-story warehouse, painted yellow on the front, with fun drawings of flowers, birds, and fishes at street level. 

In the midst of the stormy debate over the "Atlantic Yards" and Brooklyn’s future, the Footprints group, a group of local artists, has joined together to move beyond the sound bites and take a closer look at the neighborhood in question, its community, and issues surrounding redevelopment. Their work will be exhibited at Grand Space from October 7 thru November 3, W-F 5-8 pm, S-S 11am – 4pm, with an opening reception on Thursday, October 12, from 6 to 9pm.
