BWAC is an artist-run, 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. We provide opportunities for artists to exhibit their work, develop professionally, and engage the public in the experience of art.

Please consider a donation to help us reimagine our next chapter. BWAC has been without a permanent location since the September 17, 2025 fire in Red Hook and is actively seeking space to host exhibitions. Currently, BWAC is exhibiting at The Whale Building, 14 53rd St., Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
