Lurita "LB" Brown (pictured with Borough President Marty Markowitz) celebrated the opening on Dec. 16 of her new Clinton Hill Art Gallery.

The first exhibit in Brown’s new space is "Untried: A Maiden Voyage," with works by Brooklyn painters and sculptors from South of the Navy Yard Artists (SONYA) and the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) as well as those that have exhibited in her other space Clinton Hill Simply Art Gallery at 583 Myrtle Ave. at Classon Avenue.

"On behalf of Brooklyn, I congratulate Lurita LB Brown on adding to our arts renaissance in a way that is deeply aware of the rich artistic history of the neighborhood and the borough - and that gives all the great Brooklyn artists of today a chance to become the art legends of tomorrow that they deserve to be," Markowitz proclaimed.

Clinton Hill Art Gallery is located at 154a Vanderbilt Ave. at Myrtle Avenue. For more information and gallery hours, call (718) 852-0227.
