Pics: Fort Greene Clinton Hill Artwalk Showcases Local Work

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — Local Fort Greene and Clinton Hill artists will display their work this weekend in their neighborhoods’ public spaces.

The Fort Greene and Clinton Hill Artwalk will feature 35 artists from neighborhood galleries — including the Candy Factory, Tipsy and DC Optics — who will take over Fort Greene Park, BLD92 and Putnam Triangle on Saturday, May 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Much of the artwork will remain on exhibit until June 21, but the launch will be celebrated Saturday with family-friendly activities such as face painting and art demonstrations.

The completely walkable event — presented by the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership and the Fulton Area Business Alliance — is free and open to the public.
