Hello friends,

I wanted to let you know about the next art exhibition we are producing here at Brooklynite Gallery---featuring art work by kids!

Announcing, "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY" - A KIDS ART EXHIBITION

We are planning a day of painting and education on Saturday, MAY 9

Then on MAY 16 from 11AM - 5PM We will have an Opening Day for children and adults to see the work that was created. We will have live music in front of the gallery ( a local youth band). The children whose work sells at the opening will get most of the money and a small portion will go to two local youth programs (TBA).

Our submissions are open to kids from all over the world and we will have sections designated to particular countries-- one especially for ETHIOPA (with the proceeds going to building libraries in Ethiopia through h2 Empower.org)

Please give us some feedback. This is a huge undertaking and a challenge we are ready to take on! We will donate a portion of the proceeds to a few charities and the Stuyvesant Heights Montessori school towards an art room.

We will need some parent volunteers and if you have contacts @ our local schools to let them know, please contact me.
