Tonight, we're celebrating the inaugural exhibition of the Clare Weiss Emerging Artist Award at an opening reception for artist and award recipient, Ruth McKerrell. Her sculptures,
Ancient, Goatie Boy and Goat as Wolf, are installed at the northeast corner of Fort Greene Park (Myrtle and Washington Park) from June 2011 – June 2012. This award, in memory of Clare Weiss, Parks’ curator of public art from 2005 to 2009, will be granted annually by the NYC Parks Department. Clare was special to us here at MARP, as she closely advised us during the launch of our public art program in 2008 with the Tree Hugger Project installation, and we are thrilled to host the inaugural installation here on the avenue!
We will meet at the installation in Fort Greene Park (Myrtle Avenue & Washington Park) at 6pm for remarks, and continue to Chez Lola (387 Myrtle) for light refreshments. Join us!
This award was made possible by the friends of Clare Weiss with additional support from the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership.
