Dan Ichimoto’s interest in local Park Slope and Gownaus businesses brings us his latest project-in-progress, Corner Stories. BCL’s Neil Carlson interviewed Dan, a member since 2015, to give us more insight into his work, which he hopes to publish as a photography book one day.
We speak to member Heather O’Donnell, principal of Honey & Wax Booksellers. Honey & Wax Booksellers is a source for works of great literature, rare first printings, unique books, books with no downloadable versions and more, in New York City. An interesting look at the Antiquarian book industry and why the visibility of women in this space is important.
We spoke to Aly Miller to learn about her work with Certified Naturally Grown (CNG), a company that works out of BCL. And we learned more about Aly, the freelance artist, and the many ways she’s benefitted as an independent artist at a coworking space.
Carnet de Voyages is BCL’s latest art installation, which can be found all throughout the third floor, by Brooklyn-based Haitian artist and designer, Nathalie Jolivert. Nathalie is a BCL member, currently working at TOLA Architecture.
Melissa Appleton, Project Manager at Participatory Budgeting Project, a non-profit member here at BCL, tells us what participatory budgeting is and what it looks like on a micro level.
Brooklyn Creative League member, Annie Sullivan-Chin tells us about her business, A Bookkeeping Cooperative, and why they choose a cooperative business model.
Hana Schank, a part-time BCL Member and author of The Ambition Decisions, What Women Know About Work, Family, and the Path to Building a Life, shares her inspiration behind the book, life as a working mother, and why she decided to work at BCL.
“One of our principal goals in starting Brooklyn Creative League was to create both a space and a community that would help us be good parents and accomplished professionals.”
