Pacific Park Brooklyn unveils ‘Pacific Park Arts’ collaboration with Crown Heights-based artist
Mike Perry, a multimedia artist based in Crown Heights, has been named the “Artist-in-Chief” for Pacific Park Arts, a collaboration of 10 local artists to bring public murals to the 820-foot-long construction fence on Dean Street between Vanderbilt and Carlton avenues. This construction fence, behind which Pacific Park Brooklyn is rising, will be used as a public canvas by Brooklyn-based visionaries and will enliven the streetscape with color.
Greenland Forest City Partners (GFCP), the joint venture between Greenland USA and Forest City Ratner Companies behind the 22-acre Pacific Park Brooklyn development, made the announcement on Monday.
“We felt there was no better way to showcase the talent of local artists than to invite the entire community to watch them create and enliven this pocket of Brooklyn with their creativity,” said David Berliner, chief operating officer of Forest City Ratner Companies.
“As progress continues on our project, Mike and other local artists will bring neighbors and community members together to celebrate the best of Brooklyn’s unparalleled and dynamic cultural offerings,” added Ifei Chang of Greenland Forest City Partners.
