Help Bring the Arts to Downtown Brooklyn
Despite the difficult economic times, two groups of artists are looking to create permanent homes in downtown Brooklyn. The ISSUE Project Room, an avant garde performance space, is raising funds to renovate the historic theater in 110 Livingston to put on a year-round selection of music, film, video, and literature. Writers Jonathan Lethem and Paul Auster, as well as Marty Markowitz recently appeared at a reading in support of the move at Grocery on Smith Street.
Also coming to downtown is the Brooklyn Ballet, which will have a 200-seat black box theater in the new building at 160 Schermerhorn Street – aka Schermerhorn House. Help support these worthy groups and bring the arts downtown.
