Ron Hershco: Arts & Chabad Of Oceanside

A real estate developer, Ron Hershco who recently donated a building to be used by Chabad of Oceanside as he resides in Long Island with his family has also announced generous donation of 2590 Atlantic Avenue, a 19th century bank building in Brooklyn to the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation.  Rush is a prominent non-profit which helps youth develop their skills in arts and entertainment.

Hershco credits Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz for introducing him to the organization – and they plan to make the building “green” friendly.  They have created green walls, which are essentially growing walls that reduce energy usage.  The site is being created and maintained by the Horticultural Society of New York (HSNY).

Inside the building there will be professional gallery space, art classrooms, a student art gallery, and numerous art studios for local artists.  Ron Hershco has helped further develop Brooklyn.
