This Side of Paradise Opens Today

The Andrew Freedman Home in the Bronx was originally built to be a haven, a paradise, for the rich elderly who had lost their fortunes. Now, the contemporary public art organization, No Longer Empty, will present “This Side of Paradise” and its accompanying program as a way of preserving the history but also reconnecting the Home to the present realities of today’s Bronx.

4 April – 5 June, 2012
Opening: 4 April, 6-9 PM
