Audrey and Joseph Anastasi are accomplished visual artists and passionate advocates for the arts community in Brooklyn. Both have played important roles in making Brooklyn Arts Council the healthy and growing organization it is today. Audrey has been a member of BAC’s Board of Directors since 2001. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Dance Theater Etcetera (DTE) and was President of the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) for five years. A curator, gallery owner/director, educator and arts advocate, Audrey is, above all else, a tireless and dedicated working artist. She has an extensive history of exhibiting her artwork in the United States and abroad.
Born in Greenpoint and raised in Sunset Park and Bay Ridge, Joseph brings a diverse background in technology and architectural design to his artwork. Among his site specific works and exhibitions are the William Carlos Williams Center in Rutherford New Jersey, Rockefeller Center and La Mama la Galleria in Manhattan, and Danny Simmons’ Corridor Gallery in Brooklyn. In 2005, the Anastasis opened Tabla Rasa, a pioneering art gallery in Sunset Park, Brooklyn that exhibits artists working in a wide range of styles and media.
