Freddy's Bar and Backroom has been an integral part of Brooklyn for decades. Unfortunately, the venerated watering hole is in the path of Bruce Ratner's 'Atlantic Yard' project and will have to vacate from its location soon.
But this Sunday, Freddy's back room will host what may be its last art show.
Fellow blogger, Ms. Found In Brooklyn, is part of the show.
Please don't miss it.

13 Years of Art in Freddy’s Backroom:
What is Gone is Not ForgottenSunday, March 7th 6pm.
Freddy’s Bar and Backroom responds to New York State Supreme Court Justice Abraham Gerges ruling that will allow the condemnations to move forward on the building housing Freddy’s Bar on Dean Street by holding an art retrospective of 13 Years of international as well as local Art exhibited in Freddy’s backroom. (This will still give us Months to continue the fight, we will never die.)
From Painting to Video to the Museum of Drunken Art, this show will exhibit a wide variety of Fine Art from Freddy’s finest artists. Proceeds will go the “Hand Cuff Fund” for the Chains of Justice that were installed into the physical Bar at Freddy’s on 12/20/09.
Artists: Katie Welty, Margot Spindelman, Steve Pauley, Nancy Drew, Lisanne McTernan, Donald O’Finn, Steve DeSeve, Dirk Richarson, Dan Sagarin, Peter Teraberry, David Strome, Andy Friedman, Haynes Atkins, and Tim Harrod.
