More than 125 oil paintings, watercolors, photographs and other media will be on sale, with an emphasis on smaller works, and nearly all priced between $150 and $1000. The works on the walls will reflect the streets and bridges and buildings for several miles around, in the neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Red Hook, as well as Gowanus itself, including a 1972 painting by acclaimed Gowanus artist, Eddie Earl Cato, which will be on loan to the Conservancy for this show (see attached for image). We’ve been receiving beautiful submissions from a number of Brooklyn (and a few Manhattan) artists representing the neighborhoods surrounding the Canal.
Sales from the show will be used to benefit the not-for-profit Conservancy's programs. The show and sale will be open regularly after that, on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 7pm, on Thursdays 3pm to 8pm, and Fridays 3pm to 6pm. The show closes on Monday, December 22, with a “Final Sale Day” from 11am to 7pm.

Can you explain why anyone would want to help raise cash for not-for-profit Conservancy's programs. This organiztion is a "greening" of GCCDC. The object of both groups, under the same director, is to carry out the will of the Scotto club--highrise development olong the Gowanus.
Good point.
I thought that this group had something to do with Scotto.
