a factory for art & ideas
Powerhouse Arts is housed in a purpose-built facility in Gowanus, Brooklyn, on Lene-Lenapi land. We host an extended network of art and fabrication professionals and educators who work together to co-create and share artistic practices vital to the wellbeing of artists and their communities.
Fabrication
Our in-house production facilities and expert fabrication teams help artists produce work in a safe environment, in a more cost effective and collaborative way than typical studio buildings can accommodate.
