NLE Invite_021715_D-01

Join No Longer Empty this Tuesday, February 24th from 12PM – 2:30PM for the “Community Open House and Unveiling of the Old Bronx Courthouse” oh and we’re excited to report that the name for the upcoming exhibition is “When You Cut Into the Present, the Future Leaks Out”.

According to Marcus Gallen Michael, Curator of Programs for NLE, The event is organized as an opportunity for community members  to learn about No Longer Empty’s upcoming art exhibition at the Old Courthouse called “When You Cut Into the Present, the Future Leaks Out” (April 23-July 2015) curated by Regine Basha, and to identify opportunities to collaborate with neighboring socially-and-culturally engaged organizations on ancillary programming and events.”

For those interested in what NLE will be doing and if you’re an artist, community based organization, or individual interested in engaging with the space, the organization, and the upcoming exhibition, then please do come.  You’ll also FINALLY get to go inside this building that has been shuttered for so long.

If you can’t make it, don’t fret because on April 23rd, the building will be open to the public finally after almost 40 years of being shuttered.
