About Us

Gallery House is a unique gallery space that is used to host fundraising, fine art exhibitions at absolutly no cost. The only parties that financially benefit from our exhibitions are the artists and charitable organizations involved. This historical Brownstone dating back to 1877 is being meticulously restored while being graciously used by young artist completely free of charge. Gallery House is a Clinton Hill based organization dedicated to the sharing of ideas pressing our world today by giving back to the local community through our hosted receptions. We aim to gather and communicate said ideas through art, music and other types of artistic expression.

In Association With:

Green Edge Collaborative NYC is a social network that connects people with businesses, organizations and the resources they need to build a sustainable future. They do this by hosting city-wide and neighborhood events, highlighting other events in the city and through online networking. 
  
The Collaborative is comprised of students, professionals, artists, chefs, parents and mischief-makers who want to connect with others about social, environmental, economic and lifestyle issues facing our world today… New Yorkers who care about the world around us. 

MillionTreesNYC is a citywide, public-private initiative with an ambitious goal: to plant and care for one million new trees across the City's five boroughs by 2017. By planting one million trees, New York City can increase its urban forest - our most valuable environmental asset made up of street trees, park trees, and trees on public, private and commercial land - by an astounding 20%, while achieving the many quality-of-life benefits that come with planting trees.

The City of New York’s Parks Department will plant 60% of the trees in parks, on streets, and in other public spaces. The other 40% - coordinated through the New York Restoration Project – will be planted by private organizations, homeowners and community organizations. The Parks Department and NYRP are working with community partners to assess tree planting opportunities on schoolyards, public housing campuses, health care facilities, business districts, commercial and residential developments, front yards and other private lands.

In addition to planting trees, stewardship and education play an integral role in the MillionTreesNYC initiative. MillionTreesNYC is introducing private homeowners to public education campaigns that highlight the economic and health benefits associated with planting trees. The city’s land owners and managers and residential and commercial developers have been asked to establish greening strategies and set aggressive tree planting goals for their properties. The Parks Department and NYRP are also working with educators to develop innovative community and school-based education programs that highlight urban tree planting and stewardship.

MillionTreesNYC is serving as a catalyst for educating City, State and Federal policymakers on legislative, regulatory and appropriations issues affecting NYC’s urban forest. Through the initiative, NYRP and its coalition partners are researching and supporting City ordinances and State and Federal legislation that promote tree planting and maintenance, landscape restoration and urban forestry.

Through a comprehensive, community-based planting strategy, MillionTreesNYC is transforming streets, parks, and public and private spaces in our city and serving as a model for urban communities across the country and throughout the world.
