Join in a conversation at The Way Station
as we tackle these timely questions and
propose solutions: How can we sustain
an affordable, desirable, culturally diverse

with a partnership between the city,
small business, cultural organizations,

up revitalization efforts build a stronger
neighborhood rather than fragmenting
it? How can art and culture initiatives be
a positive influence on the community?
What would enlightened public policies
look like?

SAT & SUN, JULY 18 & 19, 12-6PM
Bkmw Artist Open Studios
Designers who are makers, makers who are
jewelers, artists who are metalsmiths. Meet the
people who create the work that you want
to wear, in the place where the fabrication
happens. Check in on the making process and
take in the finished works on display; featuring
over 17 artists.
JUNE 13 – JULY 31, 12-6PM
In the Gallery: Paper- Plastic- Metal- Stone
Each artist, who currently identifies with one
of the four specified mediums, has created
four works based on the theme paper-plastic-
metal-stone. Here they consider the social
and cultural history of their chosen medium,
and how the material interacts – historically,
culturally and aesthetically – with the other
three materials. This exhibition is part of the
Brooklyn Metal Works guest curator series.

The Eastern Parkway Project
Location: Eastern Parkway promenade between
the Brooklyn Museum and Utica Avenue
Free Arts Brooklyn is an ongoing interactive
public art project in multiple forms that takes
art out of the gallery and installs it on the
streets of Brooklyn. In this project, walk the
Eastern Parkway promenade to discover
paving stones covered in construction orange
and green, and public transit yellow cozies.
Sited on both the north and south sides of the
street, the project serves to knit these rapidly
changing neighborhoods together.
