Congratulations go to 2010 Create Change Public Artist in Residence Tattfoo Tan for receiving the 28th Annual Award for Excellence in Design from the Public Design Commission of the City of New York for his graphic design work towards the rebranding and rehabilitation of the Bronx River Art Center (BRAC) building located in the West Farms neighborhood of the Bronx! Tattfoo received this award with Sage and Coombe Architects.

Applying his practice in permaculture design as seen in his Sustainable Organic Stewardship (S.O.S.) project, which is currently being developed during his residency at The Laundromat Project, Tattfoo created a pattern for the exterior of BRAC's building that simulates the growth of artistic and cultural roots.

Over the next two years, BRAC will undergo a $7 million renovation of its building including corporate identity and website redesign. In the interim, BRAC plans to fully maintain their programming and presence in the West Farms community. Click here to learn more about their programming.

To learn about Tattfoo's project first hand, join him this Saturday, July 24th at 10am for a bike tour of community gardens located on the North Shore of Staten Island. Meet at Victory Laundromat, 66 Victory Blvd., Staten Island, NY.
