We are pleased to report that we have attracted a real live farmer to Moore Street Market!!
Today, we welcome Nevin Curtin from Nevins Farm in Pleasant Valley, New York. Ms. Curtin will be selling gourmet dried fruits and nuts, honey, olive oil and herbs from one of the new center stalls.
She is doing this on a trial basis, so please make her feel welcome -- in other words, buy her stuff! -- and maybe she'll be the first of many farmers to set up shop here.
Lots to report later!

Some New Pictures!!!
Finally! Some new pictures to post of the construction project. The construction wall came down this week on the new stalls, Number 24 and 25, located in the center of the market. The security gates are not installed yet, but the configuration is now clearly visible. Once the stalls are finished, we will add tables and chairs to the public area and we will be ready for tenants!
We are now thinking of having a competition for the 6 stalls that are becoming available, to get the very best vendors we can. Stay tuned for more information. In the meantime, take a look at the new spaces.
We have experimented with paint for the tiles and have found the perfect way to cover the ancient orange and white tiles! Expect a lovely coat of light-illuminating pearl gray to be going on in the next few weeks.
Hope you all had a lovely Fourth of July!
We have a great event coming up in the market on July 18th -- look for another post early next week with details.
Stay cool!

More on BOS
I forgot to bring my camera cable, so I can't download the pictures I took today, but we have another terrific "bonus" installation for BOS weekend -- NURTUREart, a nonprofit organization that does school programming, has hung a collection of block prints done by 2nd graders at PS 147 on Bushwick Avenue. The inspiration for the project was "what should be free" and it's amazing what comes out of the minds of 7-year olds!
The colors are really vibrant and they are all inspired -- I'll have photos up later today or tomorrow. Thanks to Molly O'Brien of NURTUREart, who installed the prints on very short notice. They will remain in place as long as the construction wall is up at the market.
Come and see it all this weekend!

Bushwick Open Studios this weekend!!
The Moore Street Market is once again pleased to be a participant in Bushwick Open Studios this year!
We are site 73 and the featured work is "Potentialis." The link to the BOS program is below -- it's a great event and we are expecting nice weather, so the work should show well.
http://artsinbushwick.org/bos2012/
In addition, we will be displaying the one-of-a-kind number signs designed by students at The Green School on Graham Avenue. Once the market construction is complete, we will be hanging these signs on every stall. The kids, with their teacher Brian Knoezler, did a great job!! I think I misspelled Brian's name, which may be one of the only names more complicated than my own -- sorry Brian!
Hope to "Meet you at the Market" this weekend.

Moore Street Market at Graham Avenue Fiesta -- May 19, 2012
The Market was well represented at the Annual Graham Avenue Fiesta, attended by thousands on a beautiful, sunny Saturday.
Thanks to Betty Cooney of the BID for loaning us the tent, along with some "muscle" to set it up. And thanks to Milton and Angel of the Moore Street staff who helped with set up and breakdown.
We got to say hello to Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who came by to meet the vendors and talk with constituents.
Here are some pictures....

Bushwick Open Studios -- June 1-3
Moore Street Market will once again be a stop on the Bushwick Open Studios Tour on June 1-3. We will be featuring the work "Potentialis" by ISCP-sponsored artist Lotte Van den Audenaeron. This installation was featured a few blogs back, but it involves the play of light in the market as the pattern changes during the day, reflecting differing shadows on the walls and floors.
Let's hope for sunny weather, when the work is at its absolute best!
Maybe we'll set up a beverage station -- need to explore that a little more.

We are getting closer to our Grand Opening!
We are planning to "unveil" the new spaces as soon as they are complete, with a big open house bash, date to be announced. Meanwhile, I'll be starting to interview and select new vendors. If you or anyone you know is interested, please send me an email with the type of "store" you want to run. Preference will be given to food-related vendors, and the rents will be in the $450-$500 per month -- tenant pays for gas, electric and water. But rent also includes trash removal, public bathrooms, heat and air conditioning, plus a public seating area.
Vendors have to be present on weekends and at least 4 days during the week.
Contact me at jgb@bedc.org if you're interested
