A free art and storytelling event brought neighbors together to create, get to know each other, and enjoy nature at 50 Goodwin Place’s fruitful and colorful Good Life Garden on Saturday. 

Bushwick artist Allie Olson held A TELLING: NEIGHBOR to give her neighbors of all ages and backgrounds a place to get to know each other in a fun and comfortable setting, in an effort to create a closer community.

More than 70 people from around the neighborhood came to enjoy Olson’s one-on-one storytelling walks through the garden and explore their artistic side with paints, canvasses and brushes that were supplied.
