Nearly 90 shops, restaurants and cafes along Park Slope’s Fifth Avenue are showing over 300 works
of art as part of a summer-long “Art Walk,” sponsored by the Fifth
Avenue Business Improvement District (BID).  
With the initiative, the BID aims to bring the business and art
communities together and add even more value to Park Slope’s already trendy 5th Avenue for residents
and visitors to enjoy.

Brooklyn is a borough
teeming with art and culture.  And the exhibit proves it. Over 100
artists are now being shown from 18th
Street to Dean Street with a variety of work
taking center stage–including works that feature photography, oil, water colors, computer graphics, tile and other media. 

 Curators Albert Trotman and Erika
Clarke are very excited about the quantity, quality and variety of the works
being exhibited.  As is BID Director,
Irene LoRe. “This is a unique neighborhood event,” she said, “and I’m looking
forward to peoples’ responses.  The art
walk offers an exciting new twist to the summer
stroll along 5th Ave.”

On  Saturday, 
August 1st,  there will
be a 30 block  SIDEWALK  ART SALE   from noon to 8PM.  Several 
more artists are expected  and
there will be something for everyone, even the kids.  From 3 to 6 PM neighborhood kids will be
invited to release their inner Picasso on 
4th Street
and 5th Avenue
for a Park Slope Kids Chalk Art Extravaganza
around Washington
Park. Chalk and refreshments will be provided.

 The BID’s blog will show all details and
activities. Check out: AllAboutFifth.blogspot.com.
