Event Policy
Proposals for events are approved by the group during general meetings (Sundays at 5 p.m.), on a case-by case basis with emphasis on the purpose and inclusiveness of the event. Priority is given to events that further the social goals of the space (opposition to all forms of prejudice, bigotry and oppression), as well as those that are both accessible and welcoming to a wide range of people. To propose an event, fill out the events form and bring it to a Sunday meeting, or submit it to a 123 volunteer in order to have them present it at the meeting. It is best to attend the meeting where your event will be discussed in order to answer any questions that may arise.

The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal, information about a political prisoner or group of prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a long-term correspondence. Alternating Tuesdays at 7pm. | ||

Picture This! is a free program designed to help young people from the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn develop useful skills as a means of expression and self-discovery. Working with experienced volunteers, children involved in the program learn to use photography and creative writing as tools to examine their lives, communities, families and environment. Picture This! is taught by photojournalist Andrew Stern and writer Glass D. Neary along with other volunteers from the 123 Community Space. It draws inspiration and lesson plans from The International Center of Photography's Focus on Photography: A Curriculum Guide which is designed to inform educators about the many possibilities and interdisciplinary applications of photographic education in school and after-school settings (grades K-12). The guide is free may be downloaded at: http://icp.org/museum/education/curriculum_guide . Picture This! combines training in visual literacy through discussions and writing with hands on photographic assignments and activities. All materials and services are provided free by Picture This! and the 123 Space, and we are currently seeking funding and both monetary and equipment donations. Start: 5:00 pm

Come to the 123 Printshop and learn to print your own original posters, t-shirts, and more! Volunteers will help you out with the entire process. Bring black and white artwork on plain white paper or a transparency, and a screen if you have one. We have a small collection of screens -- you can purchase one from us for $5-$15, depending on the size and whether or not you want to keep the screen for later use. The fee for exposing your artwork on the screen is $3-$5. We also provide affordable screenprinting services, but really encourage doing it yourself. It's a skill you can use forever. We plan to add more weekly open hours in the near future, and will be holding free screenprinting classes in the upcoming weeks. All ages and skill levels are welcome!
