Brooklyn Streetcar Artists’ Group celebrates new exhibit at Coney Island Hospital
It’s a work of art in Coney. The Brooklyn Streetcar Artists’ Group (BSAG) unveiled its latest exhibition of art, City Heat, at Coney Island Hospital’s main building on Thursday, July 24. The opening reception included dozens of works of art hung on the hospital’s walls with artists and friends in attendance.
“The hospital invited us in to set up a gallery for them,” said Arthur Melnick, executive director of BSAG. “It gives us the opportunity to display on a regular basis.”
BSAG consists of artists of all ages and talents. Its first exhibition took place at MCU Park, the home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, in 2007. Since then, the organization has grown, having had its work hung at several spots, such as Saint Francis College and Berkeley College.
