2011-2012

A community-based project, Piazza Gratissima is a public intervention dependent on the support and conditions of art viewers, Bronx residents, community organizers and officials, so as to Fund and build a Piazza in the courtyard of New York City Public Library, Mott Haven Branch. Piazza Gratissima will serve as a multi-use space for library goes barbecues and act as an avenue for civic discourse. This project was successfully funded on Nov 18, 2011 using the Kickstarter fundraising tool and currently Brolab, the Bronx River Arts Center and the Mott Haven Library are working on the final design that is based on how the community wishes to utilize the space. Once the design is approved BroLab will hire local unemployed labors to build the Piazza alongside of them. Piazza Gratissima will be physically realized in the summer of 2012.
