Historic Fort Greene Brooklyn

Calling all Fort Greeners
for House Tour 2012

The Fort Greene Association is proud to announce the date of our much-anticipated House Tour!
Join us on Saturday, May 5, 2012 to celebrate Fort Greene.
Just once every two years, our vibrant neighborhood - voted “the most livable in New York” by Time Out New York magazine - opens its doors to show off the creativity and spirit of its residents. From Hymn Pan Alley to the Hottest in Hip Hop, Fort Greene has a rich musical history. Be part of the next Fort Greene Association’s House Tour “There’s Music in the Air” as we explore the beautiful homes of Fort Greene and the past, present, and future of our neighborhood’s euphonious history.
Every two years the FGA, a 38 year old neighborhood advocacy organization dedicated to improving the lives of all Fort Greeners, hosts the House Tour in cooperation with the participants as the main fundraiser for the organization. The money raised goes directly back into the neighborhood enabling the FGA to continue serving the neighborhood in which you live. Here’s how you can help.

The 31st For Greene Association House Tour is in its planning stages, if you are a homeowner that would like to part of this celebration of Fort Greene contact the FGA House Tour Committee at [email protected] by October 31, 2011.

“I just wanted to take a minute and pop you a quick “thank you” for the wonderful house tour you guys organized. You wanted to set the bar high and you accomplished what you set out to do!
I was impressed with many of the houses on the tour and with all of the sitters. Your volunteers were always very courteous, engaged and knowledgeable about the features of their charge.
It’s a shame to have to wait for the next Fort Greene tour. My thanks to all the FGA for the tour. It was a great Sunday.
Sincerely, Fred Smith” -Tour Attendee 2010

“The art show in the garden room today was delightful. It was so well arranged and hung. I enjoyed seeing the work of the other artists, and especially talking to them. I think all of us who were there had a very productive and pleasant time. And the turnout was great. Congratulations, FGA, on the whole successful tour.
Thank you, Joan Reutershan” -Participating Artist 2010
