Join us for a late-breaking addition to our February program calendar. Next Thursday, February 29 at 5 pm, we’ll be co-hosting an artist talk with Lily Annabelle at the Tompkins Square Library about her new exhibition, “Goodbye to the Brick and Mortar,” a celebration of the life and memory of some iconic but no-longer-extant local storefronts, including CBGB, Mars Bar, Kim’s Video, and DeRobertis Caffe. Lilly is a West Village–based artist, and she’ll be joined by some of the merchants whose beloved establishments are depicted in her artworks, on display at the library now through the 29th.
