Fresthetic 2 Year Anniversary Party

This was stop #2 on my 24-hour fun binge yesterday. Fresthetic celebrated the 2-year anniversary yesterday in WillyB. I passed through with my homegirl and a friend to check out the space for the first time. The small spot has a cornucopia of art affairs for all senses and what made yesterday’s event even better – THE ICEE Man was present. For those not in the know, the Icee Man is a name blanketed on all in the profession of service icees. The more established/traditional ones of this ilk tend to have three or four flavors max and these are always: Coco (coconut with real pieces), Cherry, Pina (Pina Colada) and Rainbow (time to time this flaor is not listed on the cart but is something you have to ask for). The Icee Man seemingly always know when an event is going on as they are always found near large or small gatherings of folks.

Fresthetic is a concept space founded by Randy Quiles, Michael Cordero, Eddie Soto, and Omar Corder in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The store front serves as a gallery space for a wide spectrum of artists and a shop featuring silk-screened clothing, bespoke jewelry, films and more. Back story time -I went to Junior H.S. (Phillipa Schulyer – still have my gym shirt) with Michael and we recently bumped back into each other a couple months back at a party in Fort Greene. Since then we continue to cross paths (most recently was at Afro Punk) at various artsy fartsy affairs around the city. As I continue to do artful good, I realize that the circle of similar folk is small, growing community. Pictures from the 2 year anny below.
