Powerhouse Arts is a not-for-profit based in Gowanus and Red Hook, Brooklyn, established to create a robust platform for art production and employment in the arts.
We are stewarding the redevelopment of the former Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station in Gowanus to create a new facility that will house fabrication and production facilities in wood, metal, ceramic, textile and print.
In addition to fabrication, we provide total project management support for artists and institutions looking to produce ambitious projects.
Our programming includes fabrication, education, employment and public engagement to increase access and opportunity for participation in the arts for all New Yorkers.
Powerhouse Arts is pleased to be open in strict compliance with City and State health & safety guidelines. We are fully operational at our Red Hook locations until we move into our future home and are pleased to offer contactless services and virtual consultations. Events, tours, and open houses are suspended until a future date.
Powerhouse Arts offers fabrication for artists and institutions looking to produce ambitious art projects through our Collaborative Production Program. We specialize in five key materials and offer project management to support artists with the full life cycle of their project needs. Our facilities are structured to optimize collaboration across materials for multimedia projects. Explore Materials
