What can we do to keep Brooklyn … Brooklyn?
As economic growth and market forces change neighborhoods, arts and cultural organizations play a vital role in protecting communities at risk of physical and cultural displacement.
Join us for a conversation with nonprofit, arts, and community leaders about how the arts can contribute to the place-keeping and preservation of the distinct cultures in New York’s neighborhoods.
A festive reception will follow, with food, drinks, and the opportunity to share your vision for our region’s next century.
