“Yesterday, leaders from Brooklyn and beyond joi “Yesterday, leaders from Brooklyn and beyond joined the St. Francis College (SFC) community to celebrate the grand opening of the College’s new, state-of-the-art, custom-designed campus in Downtown Brooklyn.” Read the rest of our “New cutting edge urban campus opens downtown for historic St. Francis College” article, which is linked in our bio.
“Little Amal, a 12-foot-tall, lifelike puppet of “Little Amal, a 12-foot-tall, lifelike puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl, walked through the streets of Brooklyn on Monday, touching the hearts of thousands as she visited Coney Island, Brooklyn Public Library, BAM in Fort Greene and Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO. As she walked, Amal appeared as if she was searching her surroundings for a place to call home —  sometimes peering into second-story windows, sometimes leaning against traffic signs, looking weary. Hundreds of well-wishers greeted her at each stop and followed her, gaping and clapping as she traveled, accompanied by several unobtrusive puppeteers.” Read the rest of our “Little Amal visits Brooklyn, and residents fall in love” article, which is linked in our bio.
“Brooklyn’s Steve Keene has painted over 300,0 “Brooklyn’s Steve Keene has painted over 300,00 paintings over the past few decades from his studio, a chain-link “painting cage.” A one-man machine, Keene’s distinctive work has been sold or given away to thousands across the nation. You may have run in to his work in a local bar or record shop, or maybe you’ve seen one of his album covers for the band Pavement or The Apples in Stereo. His work sells for just $5 or $10 per painting, allowing anyone to become an art collector. Keene challenges the idea that “good art” must be expensive.” Read the rest of our “30 years and 300,000 paintings: Brooklyn artist Steve Keene celebrates his inimitable career” article, which is linked in our bio.
“Museums in New York that exhibit artworks loote “Museums in New York that exhibit artworks looted by Nazis during the Holocaust are now required by law to let the public know about those dark chapters in their provenance through placards displayed with the stolen objects. At least 600,000 pieces of art were looted from Jewish people before and during World War II, according to experts. Some of that plunder wound up in the world’s great museums.” Read the rest of our “Traffic nightmares on local streets: BQE plans released” article, which is linked in our bio.
