I got this email from Catherine Weaver over at the Brooklyn Artists Gym:
I’m co-curating an exhibit/fundraiser at the Brooklyn Artist’s Gym and I"m
wondering if you could do a little post about it? It would help me and the
BAG Fund out eNORmously!Produced by the BAG Fund, the show will be called BKLYN 111 and will speak
to Brooklyn’s one hundred eleventh year of colorful history. It will run
from October 17th to the 25, culminating in a party/fundraiser wherein all
works will be sold for the benefit of the BAG Fund which works to support
struggling artists with mentorship, studio space, and legal advice on
estates.We are asking artists to show us THEIR Brooklyn in any medium, any style.
The deadline for submissions is Sept 26th. They can apply on the Brooklyn
Artists Gym site at: http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/showbrooklyn111.html
