Art in Odd Places 2014 All Staff Meeting

June 6, 2014 – 4:05 am

On Saturday May 31st, the staff of Art in Odd Places (AiOP) gathered together at the Sunview Luncheonette in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (a space talked about in this previous feature) to meet, greet, and discuss the upcoming festival AiOP 2014: FREE. Although some staff members were only there in spirit, while others called in on a Google+ hangout, the event was ultimately successful in bringing AiOP together to discuss new strategies for the festival and touch base on the organization as a whole. Included below are some images from this meeting, special thanks to Alex Gordon Photography for taking the time to document the day.
