Artist Community Opening

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – The Artists of 35 Claver Place are
pleased to announce their participation in the 2010 SONYA Studio Stroll, May
15th and 16th.
For 25 years, 35 Claver Place has provided a haven for artists in
Brooklyn. And for the last six
of those years, the artists who live and create at 35 Claver Place have
opened their galleries and studios to the public as part of the Stroll for
an intimate look into their artistic process.
SONYA, the South Of the Navy Yard Artists
(www.sonyaonline.org), is a non-profit organization of visual artists
living, creating, and exhibiting in the Ft. Greene, Clinton Hill, and
Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhoods of Brooklyn. The Stroll, a free self-guided
walking tour of studios and galleries showcasing the incredible variety of
artwork created by Brooklyn-based artists, is in its eleventh year.
35 Claver Place and the artists that live, work and
create there, have a long tradition of participation in this exciting event.
An artist live/work community created by Anthony Chamberlain and Gina
Inverso in the former Inverso Warehousing building, 35 Claver Place has a
long history of nurturing and supporting the art and artists of Brooklyn.
Since 1985, it has been home to emerging and established artists working in
a variety of mediums, both traditional and experimental.
