More about the Gowanus Open Studios:

The Gowanus Open Studios are organized every year by Arts Gowanus, a not-for-profit organization working to support, promote, and advocate for local artists and a sustainable arts community in Brooklyn. For one weekend each year, more than 300 artists, businesses, and venues in Gowanus will open their doors, giving the public a rare glimpse inside the former factories, warehouses, and studio buildings of our vibrant neighborhood. Artists will be present to discuss their work, share their processes, and showcase their latest projects. Plus, it’s a unique opportunity to purchase work directly from local artists.
