BWAC returns for annual fall art exhibition
Fall is upon us, and The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) has returned with its annual art exhibition for the season at its historic gallery space at 481 Van Brunt St. in Red Hook.
BWAC, housed in a Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront, is an artist-run organization founded in 1978 by 16 artists. It now has more than 250 members. Its shows, which are held three times a year, present a wide variety of artwork, from the traditional to the contemporary.
“After 18 months of extreme challenges, many arts organizations did not make it,” said BWAC artist and curator Kenneth Jackson. “We wanted people to know that BWAC never left, but it’s like we need to reintroduce ourselves.
