Community gardens are a place for gardening, getting to know your neighbors, and, it turns out, filmgoing.

[BAM](/?s=bam) and the New York Restoration Project (NYRP) are bringing the arts to [community gardens](/blog/2016/03/31/fort-greene-and-clinton-hill-community-gardens/) with their “Arts In the Gardens” series of shows in Bedford-Stuyvesant from now through August. The free shows will include live music, movies, and more.

“Making the arts accessible is integral to BAM’s mission,” said BAM President Katy Clark.

[Jane Bailey Memorial Garden](https://www.nyrp.org/green-spaces/garden-details/jane-bailey-memorial-garden?ref=bklyner.com) (327 Greene Avenue, between Classon Avenue and Franklin Avenue) will host a pair of classic movies each featuring Sidney Poitier, with western Buck *and the Preacher* at 8pm on August 24 and *Paris Blues* at 8pm on August 31.
