Brooklyn’s Fulton Street is one of the most exhilarating public spaces in all of New York City and has been for over 100 years. A colossus of commerce, it receives over 100,000 shoppers each day and ranks with the most profitable commercial real estate in the country. It is also home to some of Brooklyn’s most recognized institutions, including places like Junior’s, home of Brooklyn cheesecake, and the Albee Square mall, famously favored by Biz Markie. Despite its historic link to Brooklyn’s past and its financial success, Brooklyn’s Fulton Street is rarely celebrated here in New York. Values & Variety: Shopping on Fulton Street seeks to change that with a series of eleven site-specific posters mixing archive and attitude, history and hip-hop, the street and the suites. Come on down!

“What is the role of design in advancing the public good? How can nonprofit organizations effectively leverage design to help them achieve their missions? These are questions that faculty and students at Parsons The New School for Design have explored over the years through dynamic collaborations with nonprofit organizations in a variety of fields. This September, the school will present its first symposium that brings together design educators, practitioners and nonprofit administrators to discuss the role of design in addressing larger social issues. The daylong program seeks to deepen the relationship between design education and the nonprofit world through panel discussions, case studies, and dialogue.”
