Artists open their doors to the public at Gowanus Open Studios, Oct. 18-19
Gowanus Open Studios returns on October 18-19, inviting the public into the studios of hundreds of local artists across dozens of locations in the rapidly-changing Brooklyn neighborhood. Organized by Arts Gowanus, the event features individual studio visits, group shows, and two featured exhibitions: "Add/Subtract" curated by Tegan Brozyna, and a retrospective of the late Samuel Heller. Highlights include the first affordable artist studios secured through the 2021 Gowanus rezoning, with about 22 new subsidized spaces at The Shop BK and Society Brooklyn now open to the public for the first time. Artists like Mayowa Nwadike, who won an affordable studio lottery, will share their works-in-progress and creative processes.
