If you haven't yet, go see "Together We Will..."

In honor of Pride month, Arts Gowanus partnered with Brooklyn Pride and The Old Stone House & Washington Park to present "Together We Will...," a public art exhibit featuring 100+ works by Brooklyn-based LGBTQIA+ artists that celebrate their community.

All of the works are printed on vinyl banners and include a brief description of the piece. The banners will be displayed on the fence surrounding The Old Stone House & Washington Park/J.J. Byrne Playground (between 4th & 5th Avenues and between 3rd & 4th Streets) until August 31st.

The original version of some of the artworks can be purchased at artsgowanus.org.
