Our Mission

Arts Gowanus is a not-for-profit organization working to support, promote, and advocate for local artists and a sustainable arts community in Brooklyn.

We nurture relationships among individual artists, arts organizations, local businesses, and the community. We produce open studio events, professional development workshops, public art works, artistic collaborations and exhibitions in our mission to ensure artists remain a crucial part of neighborhood identity.

We believe that the diverse creativity of local artists contributes to the singularly vibrant cultural life and energy of New York City, and that it is critical not only for the artists, but also our society in general, that the arts continue to thrive in Gowanus. We are committed to utilizing art as a catalyst to build deeper community relationships and a more equitable neighborhood.
