Public Art Showcase On Its Way To Bed-Stuy Plaza

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A public art showcase making its way around the five boroughs will stop in Bed-Stuy later this month, according to organizers.

The "Public Space Showcase," put on by the City Artist Corps, will bring a full day of free performances to the neighborhood's Marcy Avenue Plaza on Oct. 30, according to the schedule online.

The event is a partnership between the city's Department of Cultural Affairs, the Department of Transportation and the City Artist Corps, a $25 million program announced earlier this year to support artists who live and work in New York City.

It will include presentations from Artist Corps grantees, who have been traveling around the city showing their work.

"As New York emerges from the pandemic, art and culture are an essential component of the city’s recovery," a press release about the program reads.

The public space showcases in particular have included five days of performances at three Department of Transportation plazas in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx.
