For the Arts. Forever. Keeping it Real: Arts, Culture, and Preservation in New York’s Neighborhoods

Two dancers rehearse in a sacred place. 
Dancers partner with houses of worship for rehearsals and performances, powered by a grant to Partners for Sacred Spaces.

What can we do to keep Brooklyn … Brooklyn? Economic growth and market forces change neighborhoods, but the arts can make a positive difference.

Join Ayesha Williams, executive director of The Laundromat Project; Shaun Leonard, co-director of Recess Art; Rocky Chin, commissioner for the NYC Commission on Human Rights and Trust donor; and Amy Freitag, Trust president, for a discussion on the role the arts can play in the place-keeping and preservation of the distinct cultures in New York’s neighborhoods.

Former U.S. District Judge and current Trust board member Stephen Robinson will moderate the panel

A reception will follow the discussion.
