Event: Children's Art Exhibit opening this Saturday!

We have a busy weekend planned at Kris Waldherr Art and Words gallery,
located just off of Newkirk Plaza on Marlborough Road. We hope to see
some of you at the art opening for our newest exhibition,
BROOKLYN: THROUGH A CHILD\'S EYES.

WHEN: Saturday, July 11, 12 - 3 pm
Free admission and refreshments.
With a special music performance by Rolie Polie Guacamole at 1pm!

ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT: For a period of seven hours on June 14, 2009, the
gallery was taken over by twenty-one children, ages three to nine, who
created over seventy pieces of art. The subjects children decided to
illustrate range from the abstract â€" color field paintings and repeat
patterns â€" to readily recognizable Brooklyn scenes, such as the
Cyclone at Coney Island and Greenwood Cemetery. These paintings and
drawings became the basis for this art exhibit, which was curated by
the children themselves.

NEW: A full color exhibition catalog is available.

Event: KWT winter CSA

hello,
I know it's way too early to think about winter, BUT the time has come, not yet
to sign up, but just to drop me a line if you are interested in being part of
the KWT Winter CSA. There were 32 shares for us last year and they need an idea
of how many to put aside this year.
Visit the website for details: www.wintersunfarms.com, click on "what's in a
share".
This is a wonderful mini-csa to carry you over through the cold months
(dec-march) with blanched/frozen local delicious veggies, berries, etc. You can
also order cheese, eggs, and other farm products. Pickup is just once a month at
the Oak and the Iris cafe, 4 times total. Cost is $128. It was a big success
last year, and the company that does it is expanding like crazy. The frozen
stewed heirloom tomatos are absolutely incredible on pizza or pasta - so much
better than any from a can.
Sign up and collection of payment will be in July.
Please let me know if you're interested, and spread the word.
The june newsletter from WSF is pasted below.
thanks!
