CROWN HEIGHTS — MORE THAN 200 Brooklyn artists have been selected for an upcoming exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, which will open on the occasion of the Museum’s 200th anniversary. The museum said in a release Monday that its bicentennial “is an opportunity to honor the borough’s artistic heritage while looking ahead to its bright and creative future.” Artists were selected for ‘The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition’ either by invitation or through a public Open Call that garnered nearly 4,000 applications. “For years artists have been asking us to organize a big Brooklyn artists exhibition, and now we’ve done it!” says Anne Pasternak, who serves as Brooklyn Museum’s Shelby White and Leon Levy Director.

The exhibition will be on view from Oct. 4, 2024–Jan. 26, 2025.
