Brooklyn Workshop Gallery is so very happy to welcome these poets on this day of LOVE...
The gallery garden has an old fig tree. In myth, a fig grew out of the spot where Jupiter's thunderbolt struck...
In astrology, Jupiter is the planet of good luck..
The image is of the fig branches covered in snow by Martine Bisagni, director at Brooklyn Workshop Gallery and Workshop Gallery Artists Foundation, Inc.
Do come celebrate. It's the luck of Jupiter and the love of Valentine...
