From The New York Shitty Inbox: Are You An Artist?

This was the subject line of the press release I received from the folks at Arts@Renaissance this afternoon. Needless to say I simply had to see what this was about. I’m glad I did!

On December 2, our community will come together to celebrate our creativity. 100 artists will share their vision of North Brooklyn through 4×6 postcards made specially for the event.

And we want you to be a part of it!

There are many ways to get involved, as an artist, as a volunteer, and as a supporter of our burgeoning creative community. Each piece will be sold at auction on December 2 to benefit Arts@Renaissance, the innovative new arts space run by St. Nicks Alliance. You can make a piece, spread the word, or donate funds to make it all happen. Tickets go on sale shortly!

Are you an artist?

Please consider donating your own postcard. There are full details on how to submit here. The only parameters are that the piece be 4×6 and reference North Brooklyn.

This is great opportunity for north Brooklyn artists (and there are many!) to strut their stuff for a good cause. Check it out!

Chris Arnade (who took this wonderful portrait) writes:

Felicia owns the building where Mike Tyson keeps his pigeons. I have been a few times to photograph the birds and Mike’s friends. Felicia is always out front sitting in her chair talking to the neighbors.

Super friendly she always keeps me chatting. This time I asked to take her picture and she said “I ain’t famous like Mike or his friends, why me?” Because of your smile!
