The Final Exhibition of the Free Portrait Project!
Donation protected
My name is Rusty Zimmerman, and I'm fundraising to exhibit 200 FREE portraits & oral histories of South(ern) Brooklyn residents that I painted & recorded in 2023, and the only time that all 200 portraits will be together.
This funding will produce museum-quality exhibition signage, hire help to install the show & staff the gallery for 30 days, hire a marching band for the opening day parade, provide free snacks & drinks for the reception which is FREE & open to the public.
This community & crowd-funded work wouldn't exist without everyone's support, and this is my FINAL ASK in the 30 days leading up to the big show, from 02/24 - 03/25.
Thank you in advance for your support, and I hope you'll join us for the parade to the opening exhibition: Saturday, 2/24: 2:30p Parade march from Sunset Park to Industry City;
Parade start: 4200 7th Ave, BK, NY 11232
Parade end: 900 3rd Ave, BK, NY 11232
Reception: 3-6pm: FREE & Open to the Public;
