DBTH ventured deep into the heart of Greenpoint the other night for the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition launch of the The India Street Mural Project with a fundraiser event at Gallery 1889 sponsored by Hornitos. The Coalition is a new initiative working with local artists, community members, arts organizations and businesses to increase the presence of public art in North Brooklyn. The India Street Mural Project celebrates Brooklyn art by including a series of murals, painted by local artists Ali Ashcman, Eve Biddle, Joshua Frankel, Joshua Abram Howard, Robert Seng, Skewville and Chris Soria.

There were bites by Chef Michael Sullivan of Anella in Greenpoint, live found object portraits by artist, Zito, live screenprinting by the Brooklyn Printmaking Collective, and artistic haircuts (read: mullets and tellums) by designer/inventor/sculptor Dan Harper.
