The best part about my role as social networks manager at Howl! Happening is seeing the exhibitions through the eyes of our visitors. Our mission at Howl! is community based. We are a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the past and celebrating the contemporary culture of the East Village and Lower East Side. The content we put out into the world revolves around this mission. Our visitors, it seems, are always on a mission as well. Whether it is to reconnect with old friends, celebrate an idea or drop in to check the place out, the social media photos of what is happening at Howl! always offer a unique perspective.
We asked Kathleen Fox, an avid attendee of all things Howl!, to share some of her favorite photographs. Here they are! For more photos, follow Kathleen on Instagram and Twitter at @foxxinthefield.
