Some July arts news for you

Community Potluck for Creatives 
De-Construkt 

Each Sunday of the last month, De-Construkt Studio, a full service creative studio, encourages creatives from the neighborhood to bring their favorite dishes to meet other artists in the area. If talking process of any craft excites you, here are your people. They’re also not opposed to conversations about branding and visual identity, whether personal or for a company. De-Construckt Design has been around since 2009 and encourages art through any media.

Pulitzer-Prize Winner Gilbert King 
Brooklyn Historical Society  

King appears at the Brooklyn Historical Society on July 19 to discuss his new book about a racial injustice in the 1950s south. “Beneath a Ruthless Sun” follows a journalist in a small Florida town reaching the truth of a murder case over a 20-year period. King reviewed thousands of pages of unpunished memoirs and unreleased court documents to uncover the class and racial dynamics that still percolate today.
