Food-Centric 'Burg Art Space Seeks Growth Money

Here’s the Kickstarter pitch: “This Must Be the Place is a burgeoning art space centering around community creativity and founded in the practices and spirit of the Diner Journal. Located above Marlow and Sons in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the space is a hub for our community within the restaurants as well as the neighborhood and city at large to come together and celebrate each other’s talents, stories, paintings, collaborations and imaginations. My name is Anna and I am Editor In Chief of the Diner Journal. Over the last four years the Journal has evolved from a venue for us at Diner, Romans and Marlow and Sons and Daughters to document our journeys understanding ethical and sustainable food ways to a platform to explore art, literature, poetry, braising, baking, fermenting and making. The Journal has become an investigation into our inspirations. We have recently begun expanding those inspirations upstairs at TMBTP. …This now is a Place for classes, art, performance, performance art, dancing, eating, drinking, artist residencies and wild inspiration. We want to invite everyone to join us at the table. Uniquely, we endeavor to create and maintain a free space. This means all funds generated in the space, with the exception of art work sold, are donation only and go straight to the artist, instructor, poet, baker. All money from sold art work also goes directly to the artist but they are allowed and encouraged to price their work as they see fit. We look to fund one year, 12 art shows, many a dreamy night.” They’re looking for $24K to fund it and are about halfway there right now. Whether or not you contribute, props must be given for incorporating the title of one of the best American songs of the 1980s into the project.
