We are pleased to announce that we will be having an opening reception this Friday evening August 3rd from 5-7 pm for the free public workshops we held in partnership with the Neighborhood Preservation Center and resulting exhibition we are curating at the Little Underground Gallery at the Jefferson Market Library @jefferson_market_library 📚 in Greenwich Village.

The workshop and resulting exhibition taught participants how to use photography and oral history to raise awareness,build community, and encourage advocacy. Using our own vast collection of #storefront photographs and interviews with store owners as an example, the Participants learned how to create their own powerful photographs of neighborhood storefronts and connected with proprietors through interviews.
