IN ORDER TO BUILD THE NORTHSIDE TOWN HALL COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL CENTER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS TO RAISE $2 MILLION…

A capital campaign is under way, after a competitive city wide process Neighbor’s Allied for Good Growth (NAG) and the People’s Firehouse, Inc. (PFI) were awarded the rights to re-develop the former Engine Co. 212, “the People’s Firehouse”, on Wythe Avenue. The redesigned building will become the Northside Town Hall Community and Cultural Center and will provide; a permanent home for the two founding non-profits, affordable office and meeting space for other community groups, a ground floor affordable exhibition space for local cultural and arts organizations, and serve as a place for all, neighbors and businesses, old and new, to celebrate and build community... together.

Over 25 of the areas top restaurants and bars are joining together on Sunday, May 16th for the first annual Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint, an outdoor culinary benefit on N11th St. between Berry St. and Wythe Ave, in and outside of Brooklyn Brewery, to help raise the much needed funds and awareness that will make this vision a reality. Ticket holders will get a delicious sampling of “taste” size offerings from participating exhibitors, while enjoying live local music performances, food demonstrations, and a pop-up market of home made goodies for sale with an after party at Brooklyn Bowl.

Starting at 6pm on Friday community, activism and artists come together to breathe life into the vacant Engine 212 Firehouse to create an evening in the spirit of the art happenings and ad-hoc events/exhibition of the old Williamsburg days.

Artists Julie Fotheringhamm & JarryLowder will present a durational performance art piece with live sound; Zevan Rosser will embark on Gesture Capture, multimedia performance with custom software; and Vera Angelico & Zahava Rozman will engage the passing public and attending audience in a performance art piece by asking, “What’s Your Burning Issue?” The intention is to create a sacred space where visitors can freely and openly express themselves in a community of supportive listeners. This event will give initiation for the coming up new renovation of the building into a community center.
