Re: Huge fire in Red Hook

Our Park Slope / Windsor Terrace art show in that space (& the 3 other large shows) = gone. Thanks to all firemen & city officials doing their best to help. 100s of artists have great art in there- if any of them can be salvaged, I know that you folks will do what you can!

A few tix still available for tomorrow’s 11:30 STREET / ART, Brooklyn walk. The theme is BLUE. We’ll start at the Gowanus Dredgers boathouse, and amble around for 1.5 hrs. I’ve planned stops to keep us from becoming ice blocks and sliding into the canal.

Tomorrow’s Brooklyn walk is at 2pm, & highlights a handful of artists that offer small gifts (sometimes free to take😮) around the Gowanus streets.
