"Gon' take a walk down to Union Square/ Never know what you gonna find there"
-Lou Reed ("run, run, run")
In recognition of our work in the struggle for social justice, Reconstruct Art has been nominated for a Union Square Award!
The Union Square Awards were started in '98 when a mysterious, anonymous donor pledged funds to raise awareness of emerging, grassroots organizations that support the interests of the poor and disenfranchised and cultural activity/the arts. Reconstruct Art, of course, serves both interests. Learn more about the awards here.
Side Note:
Why "union square"? Think about all the agitating, protesting and cultural activities that go on there every day (somewhere between the dog park and the artist/vendors and the greenmarket and the skateboarders/breakdancers). "What you gon' find there" may now be Forever 21 and Starbucks, but the spirit of the place is still somehow intact.
