Closing Bell: Gowanus by Design Exhibit Opening Soon

This month the urban design advocacy group Gowanus by Design will showcase all the winners of its Water Works Competition, along with other selected entries, at The Old American Can Factory Gallery. The contest tackled the topic of community development within the context of a toxic waterway. More than 250 entries were submitted from over 20 countries. The jury looked at issues like architectural design, community programming, and urban ecology before selecting nine winners, which were announced in February. The opening reception is Wednesday, May 22, from 6:30 to 9 pm. Check out all the details here.
