A Mosaic Grows in Red Hook

The Van Brunt Street scenery in Red Hook is getting a little brighter with the installation of a "Red Hook themed mosaic" at 349 Van Brunt, which is between the Hope & Anchor and Atlantis antiques. Mosaic artist Max Airborne from Oakland created the work, pictured here, which she is installing this week. "We wanted to give the neighborhood something to enjoy and share," says Deb Malkin, a co-owner of the building. Those familiar with the nabe might know the door's previous message, "Vote," which had been painted for the 2004 election.
