Artist
Heath Wae
Pigment, for Heath Wae, is never just color.
Artist
James Akers
Nebula Neon

Artist
Jordan Eagles
Blood is Jordan Eagles's medium, and he has spent nearly three decades figuring out exactly what it can hold.

Galleries, Museums & Art Spaces

AG Gallery
AG Gallery lives inside About Glamour, a vintage-and-clothing boutique on Grand Street: you enter through the store, which is part of the point.
Gallery
AM:PM Gallery
AM:PM Gallery runs on a specific bet: that art rooted in Black and brown experience, made by BIPOC artists working across all mediums, belongs at the center of a neighborhood's cultural life: not its margins.
Gallery
Amant
Amant runs on a simple premise: slow art down.
Gallery
Brooklyn Metal Works
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.
Gallery
Brooklyn Museum
The Brooklyn Museum holds 500,000 objects across 560,000 square feet of McKim, Mead & White Beaux-Arts building on Eastern Parkway: ancient Andean textiles, Malian portrait photography, Huastec sculpture, oil-on-wood murals, and a permanent feminist art center that exists nowhere else in the same form.
Venue
Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition
In 1978, sixteen artists in DUMBO needed a wall to hang work on.
Collective
CARVALHO
CARVALHO operates out of a renovated warehouse on Waterbury Street in East Williamsburg, where the industrial scale of the space is part of the proposition.
Gallery
CFGNY
CFGNY (Daniel Chew, Ten Izu, Kirsten Kilponen, and Tin Nguyen) works the seam between garment and racialized object, using clothes, porcelain, cardboard, video, and performance to pull apart how "Asian" identity gets produced, circulated, and assigned from the outside.
Collective
Drawing Room
Wet clay, loose-leaf tea, and paint markers coexist at Drawing Room, a shoes-off studio that opened its Williamsburg location in May 2025.
Gallery
e-flux
Founded in 1998 by Anton Vidokle and Julieta Aranda, e-flux built its reputation on a simple provocation: what if critical discourse about art moved as fast as the art world itself? The email announcement list came first, then the journal: a monthly publication, launched in 2008, commissioning long-form essays on art, politics, history, and technology from writers like Boris Groys and Hito Steyerl.
Venue
Gasworks NYC
Gasworks operates from the belief that clay is not precious: it's a material for play, healing, and belonging.
Gallery

Gallery
HACO NYC

Collective
MADO
MADO sits at the back of the Issey Miyake flagship at 45 Madison Avenue: past the structural-glass staircase, past the pleated rails, past the titanium panel salvaged from the old Gehry-designed Tribeca store.
Gallery
Not Another Gallery
Canadian-born artist and gallerist David Craig Ellis runs Not Another Gallery as both a pop-art exhibition space and a working studio: oil paintings, signed prints, merch, and conceptual installations all coexisting on the floor at 109 Broadway.
Gallery
Pioneer Works
Pioneer Works occupies a red brick building on Pioneer Street in Red Hook that was, in 1866, a factory floor for railroad tracks and sugar-refinery machinery.
Venue
Powerhouse Arts
The 1904 Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station spent decades as a ruin on the Gowanus Canal (first a cardboard incinerator, then a graffiti destination locals called the Batcave) before becoming Powerhouse Arts, a nonprofit production center that opened in 2023.
Venue
Sideshow Gallery
Sideshow Gallery has always operated on a single conviction: that visual art, like music, is a language.
Gallery
Soloway Gallery
Soloway runs on dues and trust.
Gallery
The Boiler
Forty-foot ceilings in a former factory boiler room set the terms here from the start.
