Workshop for Cielo Público ☁️ 共享天空 ☁️ Sky Public☁️

What would you put on a billboard above the BQE? ☁️ Join artist and creative civic strategist Rachel G. Barnard for a free, 90-minute participatory workshop to help imagine the inaugural artwork for Sky Public, a new community-centered billboard art project in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Sky Public is transforming a billboard overlooking the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway into a space for public art. The vision is that each year, a Sunset Park artist will be invited to respond to a simple shared subject: the sky. For this first billboard, we’re getting very participatory! During this playful, hands-on workshop, we’ll generate as many ideas, images, messages, questions, and visions for the billboard as possible. You’ll be invited to make your own sky, experiment with words and images, and think about what thousands of strangers passing through the neighborhood every day could learn from us as a community. No art experience needed. Come with an idea, or come with none. We’ll make some together. ☁️ Sunday, September 27Workshop 1: 12:00–1:30 PM Workshop 2: 2:00–3:30 PMCafe Liebre4017 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11232 Free and open to all.
