(SEPT 20) Featuring Special Mosaic
Art Done By Gleason’s Gym Female Boxers, located at 77 Front Street,
Between Washington & Main St. Bklyn, NY 11201. This weekend (Sat &
Sun), September 26-27, 2009, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The 13th DUMBO Art Under The
Bridge Festival sponsored by The DUMBO Arts Center will be held
September 25 through 27, 2009. Over 150,000 visitors will come
to DUMBO for this festival. You can be part of it or you can
just come and enjoy it.
Gleason's Gym will close for workouts on Saturday and Sunday and
will open as an Art Gallery. For the past two years we had over
35 artists show their creations. All Medium of Art is welcome.
We have had painters, photographers, sculptors, illustrators,
authors, furniture makers and vocalists. The only requirement is
that the art has something to do with boxing. Gleason's Gym will
pay all fees associated with the show and you keep 100% of what
you sell.
Myself and some of the other top Female Boxers from Gleason’s
Gym have been asked by talented Artist, “Grace Baley” to make a
Mosaic Art Piece under her supervision and help. It will be
featured in this art gallery as well. Some of us boxers fought
each other in the ring through out the years! LOL. Each piece
will be available for sale and all proceeds will be given to an
organization called Girl for
Gender Equity (GGE).
It was truly a wonderful experience for us Female Boxers to
volunteer our time and come together in one room to explore our
artistic side outside the ring while giving back to such a great
organization. All of the pieces are very unique and beautiful.
I would love it if all my friends, family, and press can
come by and view the pieces each of us have done.
