Come Together: Surviving Sandy, Year 1 Benefit Exhibition Opens in Brooklyn

On October 20, 2013, Phong Bui, the artist and publisher behind The Brooklyn Rail, is hosting a benefit exhibition titled Come Together: Surviving Sandy, Year 1, marking the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. The exhibition showcases the work of over 300 artists, with half having been directly affected by the hurricane, emphasizing a theme of unity. Bui himself suffered significant losses, including years of work and much of The Brooklyn Rail's archives, due to flooding. Featured artists include Richard Serra, Marina Adams, and Susan Bee, alongside emerging creators. The opening reception will take place from 4 PM to 8 PM at Industry City, located at 220 36th Street, Brooklyn, and the exhibition will continue until December 15, 2013, with various cultural events scheduled.
