Part festival, part symposium, part community ritual, this free day-long gathering brings together artists, environmentalists, scientists, farmers, storytellers, performers, and neighbors to explore what animals might teach us about living through an age of profound change.

In celebration of Powerhouse Arts’ first major public exhibition, The Ark, we invite our neighbors to join us at the NYCHA Gowanus Houses picnic area along Hoyt St. to create animal puppets! Using repurposed materials and everyday objects, participants will explore how to design and animate expressive puppets through hands-on making and play.

In celebration of Powerhouse Arts’ first major public exhibition, The Ark, come by the Old Stone House to create pocket-sized animal sculptures inspired by the critters found at J.J. Byrne Playground, Old Stone House, and Washington Park! With support from Powerhouse Arts staff, participants are invited to sculpt, craft, and experiment as they bring caterpillars, ladybugs, and other tiny creatures to life.

Powerhouse Arts is joining the Red Hook Art Project for the launch of their exhibition I Am Not Broken, honoring Juneteenth and celebrating Black excellence, community, resilience, and strength. With support from Powerhouse Arts staff, participants will be guided through button-making and creative self-portrait activities that encourage expressions of identity, culture, and community pride.
