community involvement and engage local customers.
JunctionSpace is a creative coalition that facilitates connections between local businesses and artists in the Flatbush Nostrand Junction. Window to Flatbush is a fellowship for local artists. During the fellowship, Brooklyn-based artists work with selected businesses to upgrade their storefronts and window displays.
