New Park Slope art exhibit explores income inequality

Day 1 of installing the show! First artworks to go up: this triptych by Brian Fernandes Halloran, "Buying a 6 Pack." Based on the artist's memories of brief encounters with his Lefferts Gardens brooklyn neighbors. These paintings were part of an interactive local pop up exhibition the artist organized, where neighbors actually got to know each other better! — at Old Stone House (Brooklyn).

What happens when a company attempts to combat income inequality through its salary structure?

When Dan Price announced he was setting a minimum salary of $70,000 for his 120 employees, he didn’t foresee the turmoil it would cause for his business.

Hmmmm...

Most of the richest's income advantages are passed onto the next generation.

What progress has the NYC mayor made so far in affordable housing?

Mayor Bill de Blasio has made headway with creating affordable housing in New York City, but the road ahead may be harder.

In Search of One City: Sensing (In)equality

Exhibition dates: August 13-October 10, 2015
Exhibition Opening: Thursday, August 13, 6-9pm

With a title Loosely based on the New York City mayor’s well-known campaign phrase, In Search of One City intends to promote continued dialogue around this timely topic, exploring artists’ role in investigating, navigating, and mitigating income inequality, with a focus on New York City. The exhibition will include both artists who expose and critique the systems that perpetuate income inequality, and artists and arts groups engaging with underrepresented communities towards developing new models and services for a more equitable city.
