From NO LONGER EMPTY:

ART FILLS VACUUM CREATED BY RUSH OF EMPTY STORES

NO LONGER EMPTY, a not for profit group that places high quality art exhibitions in vacated store fronts throughout New York City, is pleased to announce the launch of its second project in the (yet to be leased) retail space of The Caledonia under the recently opened High Line.

To reflect the revitalization of the meat packing area in general and the High Line in particular, the exhibition will reflect this urban regeneration through art works selected to reflect a theme of transformation.

Reflecting Transformations references the regeneration of the area and the transformative nature that art can have on a community. This group exhibit also reflects the minimalist aesthetic that the blank slate of a new development can afford.

NO LONGER EMPTY was conceived as a meeting point between art and the economic crisis. The organization seeks to provide a challenging platform to artists and to revitalize the empty commercial spaces by creating more traffic and showing the sites filled with positive energy instead of being just one more empty storefront in the city. We also want to support the local business community of each area through the increased flow of visitors that these exhibitions will bring. on.
