Gowanus will stay an artist's haven, the studios large and the rent cheap, and the art loving
citizens in next door Park Slope and Carroll Gardens will benefit by having a wellspring of fantastic, affordable art just a stone's throw away.
Next up were the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce's Brooklyn Alliance, which took
in $ 300,000, and the Ridgewood Bushwick Senior
Citizens Council, the nonprofit founded by disgraced late Assemblyman Vito Lopez, and LGBT outreach program The
Door, each with $ 260,000.
