MUSEUM OF MODERN GRAFFITI (DECEMBER 2018)
When I started this series, there was enough street art for a post every few months, then every six months; now it’s once a year, if we’re lucky.

·····················

Our Lower Manhattan Community Church family invites yours to join us in a special celebration of this season of hope, joy, and peace. There will be two services, one at our regular time, 10:30 on Sunday morning, December 23, and one on Christmas Eve at 4 p.m. Come for either or both. All are welcome, so bring family and friends. Child care will be provided. If you are traveling this season and can’t join us, we’d love to see you any Sunday at 10:30 a.m., 2 Desbrosses Street between Hudson and Greenwich. Sponsored.

THE NORTHEAST TRIBECA ART INVASION CONTINUES
“We are not going to be a gallery,” says art advisor Lisa Schiff, who has leased a White Street storefront. “We will remain an art advisory but collaborate, host talks and screenings and maybe some art bingo.”
