Hey! Proud to be honored as part of this group! Support @GowanusCConserv & join in a great party at @BellHouseNY on 5/17 - next week! I’m Representing FOFA - Forth on Fourth Ave #Brooklyn #green
From protected bike lane to illegally parked-in sharrows in just one block! If you missed our rally & ride on Saturday, don’t fret! We’ll be out again soon! In the meantime, please sign our petition to #Fix4thAve! link: bit.ly/fix4thave
We also heard from co-chair of Forth on Fourth Avenue, Grace Freedman (@eatdinner), on the intersecting priorities and policies of sustainable transportation and climate resiliency. We need a safer, greener, and more livable 4th Avenue! #Fix4thAve!
Thanks for inviting FOFA to speak gif this #Fix4thAve ride!

🚲 Rally & Ride to Fix Fourth Avenue Join @TransAltBK + @bikenewyork + more to call on NYC to fix Fourth Avenue now by taking action to prevent drivers of cars and trucks from endangering the bike riders who use it. Meet at Times Plaza at 10:30!
Join us back at the @BellHouseNY for our community dance party on May 17th! Hosted by DJ Stretch Armstrong, we’ll be on the dance floor from 8:30-11:00 PM. Tickets start at $50 (drinks included), with proceeds benefiting Gowanus Canal Conservancy: bit.ly/gowanusblooms
Give the gift of art! Many Gowanus artists are perfect for the visually voracious on your list. Check out BK|PU, Established Gallery, @gowanusdredgers and for a retina cleanser once your wallet has been emptied, “Belonging” at the @OSHBklyn. #keepgowanuscreative #buyart
The Old Stone House supports local artists through our contemporary art exhibition programs. Donations from our community help us pay participating artists, ship artwork, and buy supplies for art workshops. To donate, text OSH22 to 44-321. Thank you for keeping us blooming!
Visit us tomorrow 12/9 from Noon - 4 to see "Belonging". This exhibition of textiles by Kimberly Bush, Stephanie Eche, and Traci Johnson is curated by Grace Freedman. Can't make it tomorrow? Mark your calendar for 12/16 instead! The exhibition will continue in 2023.
If the polls weren't accurate, why the hell should we believe the approval rating?
.@CMShahanaHanif and @NYCCouncil38 have been leading on making Fourth Avenue safe for pedestrians! As the 3 CMs that represent this stretch, we are pushing @NYC_DOT for maintaining the protected bike lanes and safer intersections.
We’re not focusing enough on the practical impact of Zeldin as NY Gov: * Defunding mass transit * Cuts to public schools * Appointment of Trumpian judges * Resumption of fracking * Pardon of Trump on State charges * End to State funding for abortion providers The threat is real.
I got the chance to meet a mother who lives at CHiPS’s Francis Houses and who posed for me with her child. She’s a single mother, who needed a secure home. When she needed help, @chips4thave helped her. See more art about CHiPS: michaeljamesfreedman.com/collections/th…
My latest project is creating art to support my local soup kitchen that serves up hope.
We’re so happy to have this #TreeChuang installation by artist Xinan Ran + youth from @beamcenternyc! Come check it out this weekend at the @KingsCountyFest & during @ArtsGowanus Open Studios.
Retweet this if you believe that Clarence Thomas should have recused himself from acting on the Trump case.
#GowanusOpenStudios is our community’s big weekend - Saturday & Sunday, October 15 & 16 - of ART ART and more ART. We thank those generous folks who go beyond the beyond to support us! artsgowanus.org #GOS22 #keepgowanuscreative
Excitement is building (or is that panic) for our annual open studios art crawl all over the charmingly shambolic, the one, the only #Gowanus! Artists are working, patrons are eating their Wheaties, together we combine on Saturday & Sunday 10/15 & 10/16 to bathe in art! art! art!

Good news is that the City has already replaced them! But will the last longer this time? The point of quick-build is to install simple changes that can be modified/improved over time to fit the needs of the community, but that concept won’t work if vandals destroy them first.
