BWAC Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition

BWAC: a non profit gallery in Red Hook, Bklyn providing thousands of artists space to exhibit yearly

BWAC’s 25,000 square foot gallery is in a Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront. The vista of New York Harbor, spanning the Statue of Liberty to the Verrazano Bridge is one of the best in the city. Our 18,000 annual visitors also enjoy the nearby restaurants, bars, IKEA and Fairway Market. With every medium and style of artwork represented, as well as the free BWAC Red Hook Waterfront Performance Series, our shows are as spectacular as the setting.

We have had a great start to the Fall Season. Our current shows close this weekend so you still have a chance to see the exhibitions and add a special piece to your collection.

Our final Show for Fall 2 starts Nov 2, so until then head over to Red Hook this weekend.

Cheers~
