Gowanus Open Studios to feature hundreds of artists this weekend
The 20th annual Gowanus Open Studios will take place in the neighborhood from Oct. 14-16, featuring more than 300 artists who are preparing to welcome more than 5,000 visitors into their studios. Studios will be open Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 15‐16 from noon to 6 p.m.
For one weekend each year, artists working in the former factories, warehouses and studio buildings in Gowanus invite the public to visit their studios, see their work and talk about their process. Visitors create their own self‐guided tours during this free event, and the Arts Gowanus website (www.artsgowanus.org) features an interactive map and an online directory of all participating artists with samples of their art.
With the landscape of Brooklyn slowly changing for working artists, Gowanus remains one of the largest communities of visual artists, musicians, glassblowers, textile artists, graphic designers and craftspeople.
