BROOKLYN MUSIC SCHOOL’S GALA CELEBRATES ‘ARTS FOR ALL’
FORT GREENE AND GREENPOINT — The Brooklyn Music School in Fort Greene, celebrating 114 years, will hold its annual fundraising gala on Tuesday, May 23, to expand current programs and to generate additional scholarship support at the historic performing arts institution at 126 St. Felix Street. This year’s gala theme, “Accessing the Arts,” builds on the BMS’ mission of “Arts for All,” highlighting the importance of accessibility in the performing arts space, where 800 students receive high-quality performing arts instruction on-site, an additional 1,500 through its outreach program all around the city, and roughly 8,000 indirectly in audiences each year.
Hosting the gala is Rule of Thirds, 171 Banker Street in Greenpoint; the event venue is named for a method in another art form — photography.
