If you’ve been in Times Square lately, you may have seen this already, but we were waiting to post until we had some good photos. Tash put out a call to the Brooklyn Museum Members group on Flickr and Trish Mayo and Stephen Sandoval took a field trip to the square to get some shots. Trish, Stephen – thanks, these are awesome!

A Crowd-Curated Exhibition, Split Second: Indian Paintings, GO: a community-curated open studio project—which enabled the public to participate in the exhibition process.
Shelley was named one of the 40 Under 40 in Crain's New York Business and her work on the Museum's digital strategy has been featured in the New York Times.
