NO BILLS AT UNIONDOCS
Sunday, October 16 at 7:30pm
322 Union Avenue, Brooklyn
From July through September No Bills was installed at sites throughout Williamsburg, including the McCarren Park Pool and Triangle Court (a few blocks away from UnionDocs). Each site presented audio oral histories about North Brooklyn through listening stations situated in construction fences and on the street, and created serendipitous encounters for passersby, inviting them to engage with neighborhood’s history while standing at the sites of its developing future. Learn more at www.nobillsstories.org.
THANK YOU for your generosity - you helped make this project happen.

Posted project update #3New Site Announced! And August 31st Event Details.
Post CommentDear Supporters,
nbART is pleased to announce that No Bills: Stories of North Brooklyn will be expanded this September to a new site in Williamsburg: 50 Kent Avenue. The site, currently a rarely-used lot, is the future site of a waterfront park for the Williamsburg community. We’d like to thank you, our backers, and the Open Space Alliance for supporting this expansion.
This Kickstarter Campaign only has 48 hours to left before time’s up! And we need your help in getting the word out. Please forward on this project to your friends and networks – every little bit helps us in reaching our goal of $2,000. We want to thank you for helping us achieve that goal.
Finally, please join nbART on Wednesday, August 31st at IndieScreen for yet another announcement: the unveiling of Plan Ahead, an artwork by Magda Sayeg (aka Knitta Please). This piece, a knitted structure under the Williamsburg Bridge, will be just blocks away from the new No Bills site and we’re getting together to celebrate!
Wednesday at 7pm

Posted project update #2No Bills UNVEILED!
Post CommentDear Supporters,
Again, thank you so much for your support of No Bills: Stories of North Brooklyn, which was unveiled on Sunday, July 24th.
Thank you to those who came out to make the unveiling special, for your attention to the streaming stories at each sit, and for your positive feedback (ppssssttt! If you missed it, you can find some pics here.)
We're still working on expanding No Bills to additional sites, and will keep you posted once that happens. In the meantime:
- check out the Greenpoint Gazette article about the unveiling
- save the date for our upcoming fundraiser on August 31st
- visit a No Bills site anytime through September, and check out the site map
Most importantly, pat yourself on the back for being a part of this community project. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to move forward.
Thank you.

Posted project update #1THANK YOU! and an update...
Post CommentDear Supporters,
This is just a quick note to say Thank You for backing No Bills: Stories of North Brooklyn. You are among the first dozen "backers" of the project, and have already helped us raise 15% of our goal -- and we still have six weeks remaining of the campaign!
As we gear up for Sunday's launch, we wanted to personally invite you to join us to take a tour with artist Nick Yulman as we visit the three No Bills sites. We'd love to see you this Sunday at the McCarren Park Pool at 1:30 (a second tour will loop at 2:30); a reception will follow.
We also wanted to share a little press from last week! L Magazine featured the project, and directed folks to this Kickstarter campaign that will allow us to expand No Bills to additional sites:
Thanks to you, we're on our way.

Post CommentDear Friends and Supporters:
On behalf of Amanda Browder and the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition, please accept our sincere thanks for backing FUTURE PHENOMENA on kickstarter.com. We are thrilled that this project is now successful, and look forward to bringing the final artwork to Greenpoint, Brooklyn in the coming weeks.
As a valued supporter, we wanted to share the progress of the project with you: In March, April and May we held three sewing sessions open to the public and lots of volunteers helped us cut, roll and sew hundreds upon hundreds of feet of donated fabric. Check out a short video below on how it is coming along!

Posted project update #6Consider supporting Future Phenomena!
Post CommentThank you for your past support to the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition!
Next month we are launching our third public art installation, Future Phenomena, and today marks one week remaining in the kickstarter campaign to raise $800 toward the installation.
Since the beginning of our campaign new costs have arisen due to the need for a permit by the city. Your donation will go directly to the hiring of a structural engineer to install the piece according to NYC Department of Buildings Standards. We have come this far in constructing the piece with volunteers, artist donations, and local sponsorship. Even after donations from Amanda Browder and other artists, a local architecture firm, and members of the community, we still need to raise money for the city mandated structural engineer inspection. Help us make this goal!If we don't raise the remaining $400 we may lose the kickstarter funds already committed. So please consider a $10 donation today: you will receive a small swatch of the final artwork, as well as an artist card from Amanda Browder.
Interested in other Future Phenomena rewards to help us reach our goal?
Donate $100 and we will send you a square foot of the final artwork, as well as a print of Future Phenomena.
Donate $60 and we will send you a limited edition, chevron-patterned tote bag designed by Amanda Browder.
Donate $25 and we will send you a print of Future Phenomena.Donate Today: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/NbPac/future-phenomena-amanda-browder
After hosting three sewing sessions open to the public since April, Future Phenomena is well under way! Amanda Browder’s chevron-patterned fabric structure is a collaborative effort among donors and volunteers to sew donated materials piece-by-piece into the final 850 square foot artwork, which will be installed on a Greenpoint building on June 19th. Your donation will go toward the installation costs, including the hiring of a structural engineer to install the piece according to NYC Department of Buildings Standards.
THANK YOU if you have already donated your time, fabric, or support. Without you, this project would not happen. So please consider sharing this with your friends to help make Future Phenomena a reality next month.
And check out a story about us in the May Issue of The Brooklyn Rail:

Thank you, as always, for your support. And save June 19th for the launch on Manhattan Avenue!
