Alan Wernicke  has invited us to his part of the world: Brooklyn Heights.  We will be going to the waterfront by Piers 5 & 6 to sketch views of the Manhattan skyline from the East River, the activity on the piers (volleyball, soccer, skaters), marinas, the rescue ship Nantucket, tug boats, sailboats, barges and views of Governor's Island and the Brooklyn Bridge, to name "picture ops" 

DATE: THURSDAY JUNE 23, 2016
