AUTHOR: A Kinloch TITLE: New Gowanus Venue: The Yard DATE: 10:33 AM ----- BODY:

Temporarily vacant space in Gowanus is being put to good use.

Alicia from Mean Red Productions tells us, "We're calling it the yard, it is a beautiful outdoor space on the water where we've planned a film and concert series. There is also a silo on the property in which we're curating small music & art shows. The land is destined to become condos in a few years, but before that happens we'd like to make the most of it to create a new music and art destination in the neighbourhood."

The first show is on July 1st and includes the Babylon Circus from France and Wax Poetic. Click on the flyer to the left for more details.

There's quite a lot of "land destined to become condos" around Brooklyn so it would be good to see more of these initiatives springing up.

India DATE:11:23 AM Cool. I'd heard about stuff going on at the silo, and I was, like, "What silo?" I walk across the Union St. Bridge all the time, but I'd never seen it.

Thanks for posting the flyer (typos and all). I might go to the Babylon Circus show. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:

A Kinloch DATE:1:08 PM I wanted to see that show but I'll be out of town. Oh and I love that bridge. Mmm. I need to come up with a Union Street Bridge post. ----- --------
