Brooklyn Metal Works

Brooklyn Metal Works is a gallery in Brooklyn that showcases contemporary artists working with metal and craft-based practices. The space sits adjacent to a shared metalsmithing studio, supporting over 30 resident artists and hosting rotating exhibitions and artist lectures.

Brooklyn Metal Works opened its gallery in 2011 to showcase national and international artists making work with a craft-based ethos, programming installations, performance, mixed media, and sculpture. The space sits adjacent to a shared metalsmithing studio, facilitating a symbiotic relationship between creation and presentation. The organization aims to promote the field of metalsmithing and further critical dialogue among practitioners, with an ongoing artist lecture series and rotating exhibitions by contemporary artists and guest curators. The studio supports over 30 resident artists as independent jewelers and businesses. The collaborative setting fosters exploration and experimentation while strengthening knowledge among those invested in the field.
