Black Atlantic from Public Art Fund on display until November 27
EDITORS’ NOTE: A trending treatment for fundraising events these days is to avoid late dinners in a sit-down framework. As this note is being written (Wednesday) , one day before the annual Black Tie Ball of Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy, it is expected that BBP’s stellar event will once again produce a resounding success. And, like the recent Prospect Park Alliance event, it will not be a formal, sit-down dinner.
Instead, it will most likely be a star networking event with with excellent food on the run. The adage ” sitting is the new smoking” might be a little hackneyed now, but event planners have certainly budgeted less for chairs and tables these days. Whatever the support-building event may be, our Parks community in Brooklyn continues to attract our best and brightest as supporters. And Brooklyn’s latest ‘jewel in the crown’, One Degree 15 marina, has helped BBP become, literally, a global magnet.
