In recent times, Brooklyn artists have generated an enormous interest in the art world. Artists in Brooklyn command a unique place, and our borough hosts one of the highest concentration of resident artists anywhere. Brooklyn used to be considered an "outer borough" and sometimes of a backwater when compared to Manhattan. This "outer borough" edge provides a unique perspective on the art world. It offers Brooklyn artists the ability to develop a body of work that is less dependent on the marketplace and more in keeping with the individual artist's point of view. With the Brooklyn Renaissance, Brooklyn is now being actually re-born and discovered as an important borough for the art community. This exhibition in all media showcases and celebrates the individualistic styles of Brooklyn artists.

Leon Nicholas Kalas, the exhibition curator, is a Brooklyn artist and a former gallery owner. Among his other curatorial exhibitions are "Art Treasures to Live With: Picasso, Dali, Renoir" (2002) and "Symbolism in Abstracts" (2005).
