Gallery and Event Space Opens on Rogers Ave

DNAinfo profiled a new art gallery, called Mister Rogers, now open on Rogers Avenue and President Street. They call it “part art gallery, part events venue, and part plain old office space.” The gallery owners, both sons of rabbis, grew up in a Chabad yeshiva only a few blocks away from the gallery, but they’re trying to draw in the hipster crowds. As one of the owners says: “Franklin is already full.” The first art exhibit up is a photo gallery called “Close to Home,” which displays a diverse cross-section of the Hasidic community in Crown Heights. Their first public event, a sort of neighborhood-based summer salon, was called “For Locals, By Locals.”
