Sock monkeys at the Atlantic Antic!


On Sunday, September 26, fresh art had a booth at the Atlantic Antic, Brooklyn's largest street fair. We talked to passersby about fresh art's mission and sent a lot of sock monkeys home with smiling, happy people. Though the weather was cloudy, the rain held off, and a good time was had by all. Special thanks to everyone who dropped by to say hi, and to the wonderful volunteers who set up and staffed the booth!
