(Brooklyn, NY) Art is a cause for celebration and creates a space for gathering. With this in mind, FOKUS created The Flock in collaboration with Soul of Brooklyn, to share unique craftsmanship and provide an opportunity for strangers, artists and art forms to gather in one eclectic place. On Sunday, June 3rd from 1-6pm, artists and their communities will gather at The Flock to showcase and engage with the arts under the summer sun at the Putnam Triangle Plaza (on Fulton and Putnam) in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NY.
We are excited to provide for your artistic experience workshops for you:
- Aimee Cox (Sacred Brooklyn Yoga and Movement Studio) will have an improve dance for the youth.
- Make your own Kaiju with Spazecraftone
- Custom design your own Cityscape Batik shirts with Alice Mizrachi
- Learn how to make paper with Anny Mefford
- Paint a terra cotta pot (and take it home to your garden) with Anna the Bumblebee
DJ Lynnee Denise will be providing the musical soundtrack throughout the day, Sophia Urista will be performing and Daniela Hernandez-Pedraza will be live filming during The Flock.
