      April 5, 1971: More than sixty works of art including paintings, sculpture, painted porcelain and china and photography, will comprise the ARTISTS LEAGUE OF BROOKLYN exhibit in The Brooklyn Museum’s Community Gallery, April 18 through May 16, 1971.

      Under the direction of Henry Ghent, the Community Gallery will observe its third anniversary this fall. Since its advent in September 1968, more than thirty exhibitions have been presented - ranging from arts and crafts by Afro-Americans and avant garde works by a group of international artists to children’s art and art created by the blind. The only facility of its kind ever to be created within the walls of a major American museum, the Community Gallery continues as a pioneering experiment in fostering communal creativity.

      The ARTISTS LEAGUE OF BROOKLYN organized by Michael C.Dank in January 1969, now has a membership of 26 local artists. Mrs. Marilyn Mark, the non-profit organization’s newly elected president, said the aim of the group is "to encourage public appreciation of art created by community inhabitants, as well as aid the careers of its members by sponsoring individual and group exhibitions of their work.” Many of the artists have exhibited widely.

      Members of the ARTISTS LEAGUE OF BROOKLYN participating in the exhibit are:

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
