Art to End the Violence

Save Our Streets (S.O.S.) Crown Heights is hosting an event Thursday, May 26, 2011 from 6-8pm at Launchpad (721 Franklin Ave.) that is not to be missed. Art to End the Violence is the culminating event for the S.O.S. Multimedia Contest. The contest engaged talented youth and adult artists to create public service announcements, video and radio shorts, and posters for our public education campaign that convey the message that shooting and killing are not acceptable in Crown Heights.

At the event, winners of the contest will be announced and awarded their prizes. Additionally, S.O.S. will be awarded the coveted Martin Luther King Jr. Award from the Fellowship of Reconcilliation, one of the oldest and most storied civil rights organizations.

Light refreshments will be served and entertainment will feature DJ M Dot.
