Selected works will be printed on 36" x 36" vinyl and displayed along the fence surrounding The Old Stone House (336 3rd Street, Park Slope) and Washington Park.
Deadline for applications: Tuesday, April 30!
SUPPORT GOWANUS CURRENT!
Ten years in the making, Gowanus Current is a film about people, pollution, planning and real estate on the most toxic 1.8 miles of water in America.
The filmmakers, Jamie Courville and Chris Reynolds, have finished editing 450 hours of footage (!) and are in the final stages of wrapping up their opus!
They are SO CLOSE to finishing but they need your help to pay for color grading and sound mixing.
Please contribute to their fundraising campaign if you can. As a thank you, they are offering some sweet Gowanus swag for contributions.
BONUS: Meet the filmmakers, make a donation, and catch a clip or two of the film on Wednesday, February 21 (6:30–8:30pm) at Threes Brewing (333 Douglass Street, upstairs)! More info here.
