Display Your Fine Craftsmanship at Housing Works' "Made In Brooklyn"

Housing Works' Crosby St. LocationCrafts folk, authors, illustrators, fashionistas, jewelry designers, furniture gurus, photographers--in other words, everyone reading this--if you're based in Brooklyn and care about helping put an end to AIDS, then Housing Works wants Y.O.U.

For those not in the know, Housing Works is a chain of book stores, cafes and thrift shops throughout New York that donates 40% of their earnings towards ongoing AIDS research, creating housing for victims in need and expanding vital health services.

On May 19, the Brooklyn Heights location (122 Montague St.) will be presenting Made In Brooklyn, showcasing the work of local artisans who's work has any sort of Brooklyn thread to it.  Sound broad? That's because it is! But we think that's great.

Any work you submit will be on a donation-only basis, though any flyers, cards, contact info you want to attach, Housing Works will happily display it, in addition to giving you a nice little tax credit.  So think of it as instant exposure while backing a worthy cause.

See? This is Dirty Projectors and Björk perfoming a benefit at a Housing Works bookstore a couple years back:
