Greenpoint

Nestled in the northwest corner of Brooklyn, Greenpoint has historically enjoyed relative anonymity due to its isolation and industrial zoning. In recent years, an influx of newcomers to the area has made Greenpoint one of the neighborhoods with the highest concentration of artists in the city. A rezoning program in 2005 created a master plan for parks and public access to the waterfront and led to increased interest from residential developers. As plans advance for the future of the neighborhood, particularly for the Greenpoint industrial waterfront, the opinions and wishes of local community members, advocates, and officials endeavor to be part of the conversation as this area is transformed. Through this artistic intervention, Bring to Light hopes to engage the public in this dialogue and leave lasting positive impacts.
