THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, BROOKLYN!


After months of planning and preparation, TBF's fall campaign has finally come to an end. TBF wants to thank everyone that put time and energy into Shades of Green, BKLYN: 111, and/or our kick off gatherings at Tea Lounge,Cozbi's, and Union Hall. This was TBF's first major fundraising campaign and we are so thrilled about the outcome. TBF raised funds and more importantly raised awareness in the community. At a time of financial crisis across the country, TBF was still able to bring people and organizations in. We drank, we laughed, we conversed, we discussed; in the end, we achieved our goal in making TBF a staple of the Park Slope/Gowanus area.

Eric Strauss, our first TBF single parent artist who received his award from Borough President Marty Markowitz at Shades of Green, is living proof that we can make a difference in the artistic community. TBF is currently in the process of reviewing
applications for the high school artist program and will continue to grow and branch out into the community with your help.

Once again, thanks for everything! Thanks for coming! Thanks for the effort! Thanks for your time!

As always, make more art.

Stay in tune for upcoming gallery shows and events, the fall campaign may be over but there is more to come!
