Good news – Frank White hasn’t left us after all!
I just received the following email:

For all things to grow, they must evolve.
This axiom has become the primary motivation behind Frank White’s transition from café to full- fledged gallery/design space.
Situated just a few doors down from our original location, we’ve streamlined our space and refined our mission to provide a creative outlet for emerging and established artists, authors, lecturers, brands, products, and events.
What to expect:
Exhibitions (art + graphics + product)
Film Screenings
Open Discussions
Fashion Exchange
Art Lessons (adult + children)
Intimate Performance
The space will also house the offices of Sun in Leo marketing|pr| events, soulwerx design/media, and RoaringBull Publishing and provide the following services: art licensing, Loft paintings, murals, publishing, brand strategy, marketing, P.R., and product design.
We extend our deepest gratitude and acknowledgement to our friends and family who have made Frank White an award winning venture and please know that although the waffles are gone for good, Frank White will continue as THE social and artistic destination for the progressive and global in Brooklyn.
Stay tuned to the spring 2009 re-launch and calendar of events.

Visualize the future.
Frank White Design Gallery
926 Atlantic Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11238

I’m very excited to see what the new space will be like. It did seem as though their strength was fun film, media and cultural events, so perhaps they’ve found their groove and are moving forward. Though I wouldn’t be opposed if they decided to bring the waffle bar and the wallpaper with them!

I read the post tiltle too quickly and saw “Frank White Incarcerated” and thought “Damn, crime IS up around here”.
That’s great news, though.
Better suited use? I always thought naming a place to sip tea and have a pastry in after a CRACK DEALER – was in terrible judgment.(Biggie Smalls’ drug dealing alias was Frank White). It could only happen in a “New Brooklyn” – where people newly arrived romanticize days not too far gone that were actually very scary to live through, for everyone involved. Not “Tea Time Discussion” material. People were mugged, stabbed and shot on the streets of Clinton Hill because of crack – I witnessed it. I Love Biggie for living through it and moving on- but never got with the “tryin’ too hard to be down with the hood” cafe name.
