I was involved in an early planning meeting about this and I'm just really impressed that this group pulled it off so quickly.

The 5th Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) has teamed up with
artists from across the borough to sponsor the first annual Art and
Photo Walk in Park Slope.

As part of the
walk, art installations will be exhibited along Fifth Avenue from Dean
to 18th Street and feature a variety of artists. “With computer art,
oil paintings, mixed media, ceramic tile, and photography,” explained
participating photographer and BID Board Member Erika Clark, “the walk
offers a range of artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in
non-traditional settings while bringing more people to neighborhood to
support the local economy.”

There are over 70 participating merchants, 40
artists and approximately 200 pieces. Artists include Third Street photographer Stanley Cohen, Bernette Rudolph, and Jonathan Blum among many, many others.

 The walk will officially launch on the 4th of July and last
until Labor Day. With art as dynamic as the Avenue itself, the public
installation promises to bring unique energy to an Avenue long
accustomed to setting new trends.
