fresh art loves japan

Along with the rest of the world, we at fresh art have been so saddened by the devastation our friends in Japan have faced as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsumani. One of the volunteers in our sock monkey sewing circle, Yoko, a native of Japan, created a special monkey to show her love and support for her home country.


As Yoko's monkey illustrates, our hearts go out to all those in Japan and around the world who have been affected by the earthquake and the tsunami.

Visit us at the Prospect Heights Craft Fair on April 9!

On Saturday, April 9th, fresh art will be selling sock monkeys at the third annual Prospect Heights Craft Fair at PS 9 in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Please stop by 80 Underhill Ave (between St. Marks Avenue and Bergen Street) to see us and stock up on some spring sock monkeys.

The Prospect Heights Craft Fair benefits the art programs at this neighborhood public elementary school, so come out and support their cause as well as ours! You can take the A or C train to Washington Ave, the Q train to 7th Ave, or the 2 or 3 train to Bergen Street. The B26, B41, B46, B65, and B69 buses will also do the trick.

Hope to see you on April 9, and happy spring!
