If there's at all a silver lining to the 10,000 layers of crappiness surrounding the closure of 3rd Ward, it's that there are still lots and lots of places to learn all sorts of things in Brooklyn and beyond. I started tweeting out a bunch this morning but thought it might be nice to compile them in one place. If you're a former 3rd Ward teacher or a space looking for instructors, be sure to check out our 3rd Ward Instructor Matchmaking Service.

This is just a teeny tiny slice of the options, but leave comments and I'll try and update.
