Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition's newest artists:young ladies of Red Hook Art Project!

Had a fun day meeting the young women of Red Hook Art Project. We took a water taxi from Fairway on Van Brunt Street over to Pier 11 in Manhattan looping past the Statue of Liberty, Governors Island and lower Manhattan for inspiration for their "postcard" artwork that will be a part of Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition's "Recycle" show opening May 9th at 499 Van Brunt Street. The girls are using recycled materials donated from local businesses to create their own "postcards" of things they find inspiring in and around Red Hook. Postcards are actually a new concept for the girls who collectively had never sent or received one! Our first efforts were mailed out to family and friends yesterday. We will be working all week to create many more which will be on display at the Spring show. Come meet the girls and check out their Red Hook May 9th! Buy a postcard and mail it to a friend...so much nicer than Facebook!
