CHILDREN'S ART WALL AT ARTMAGEDDON


Submitted by Robert Elstein:

Dear Brooklyn Parents,


My organization, Beautify Brooklyn, previously came to Kensington for an incredible neighborhood-wide cleanup, on January 17, inspiring more than 60 volunteers to remove trash from more than 50 Kensington blocks!


We're now putting together an incredible event to recognize the artistic talents of Brooklyn kids! If your child loves to paint, draw, collage, photograph or sculpt, then this is a day just for them!


It’s called “The Children’s Art Wall” & we invite all of Brooklyn’s children, ages 0-12, to display their finest work! Our event will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 13 at our two large outdoor walls, on Dorchester Road between East 16th Street & Marlborough Road, in beautiful Ditmas Park. 


All children who bring their work will have at least one piece displayed! Our exhibit will be curated by J. Lotus Gallery & we’ll have a juice reception, with live music, at 3:30 p.m. All artwork will be returned to the artists at 4:00 p.m.


The Children’s Art Wall is a fantastic & unique part of Artmageddon: Brooklyn Artists & Makers Fair. Artmageddon features more than 50 local artists & musicians who will be sharing & selling their work from the gardens & porches of our generous neighbors! It’s an opportunity to support our artists as we emerge from the pandemic & to build our community!


If you’re planning on participating, please let us know!


RSVP at www.BeautifyBrooklyn.org & bring your child & their artwork to Dorchester Road between East 16th Street & Marlborough Road any time between 11:00 & 3:30 on Sunday, June 13.

Hope you can make it!


Brooklyn Pride!
