Open Studios

Visit Paperfinger and neighboring artists at this wonderful annual event in October.

Gowanus Open Studios is Brooklyn’s biggest celebration of local art and artists. On the weekend of October 17 and 18, hundreds of artists across dozens of venues in the greater Gowanus neighborhood will open their doors, giving the public a rare glimpse inside the former factories, warehouses, and studio buildings of this vibrant neighborhood. Artists will be on hand to discuss their work, share their processes, and showcase their latest projects.

Gowanus Open Studios provides an exciting and intimate look into this booming creative neighborhood. Home to up-and-coming galleries, cultural centers, art fairs, hundreds of independent artists, and quirky community organizations, Gowanus is one of New York City’s premier arts and culture neighborhoods. 

Gowanus Open Studios will feature venues and studios from Pacific St. to 19th St. and from Smith St. to 5th Ave. A digital map and directory of artists will be available this fall on artsgowanus.org.
