Hello Friends,

Yes, Prospect Range Projects is still here (!) albeit in a highly periodic way. John and I would love to see you for the closing reception of this very special exhibition on Tuesday evening, July 15th, from 6:30 on. 

It's the third installment of John's deep dive into some of New York's forgotten corners, and to celebrate the impact of the overall project, we are including some treasures from the Gowanus and Rockaway series.

My Best,

Dexter

Operation Gig! concerts sometimes get canceled because of weather conditions that aren't suitable for outdoor activities. Before you go to the concert, check the Operation Gig! website or Facebook page to see if it's been canceled.
 
Operation Gig! provides live music performances outdoors on weekends.
 
The series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas Park, started in July 2020 in order to offer a venue where musicians could perform during the pandemic. This provides them with a source of income and provides a safe space for people to gather to enjoy live music.
 
Although the performances are free, the suggested $10 donation to the musicians is more than welcome. Donate either at the performance itself or to the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund on GoFundMe.
 

Operation Gig! t-shirts can be purchased here; the proceeds go to the Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund.
