One Year Later: New Work, New Perspectives

This exhibition presents the work of BWAC members, marking one year since the fire in Red Hook destroyed the space BWAC had occupied for more than 30 years. How have members responded? Have they moved in a new direction? Gained a new perspective? Are they reflective? Solemn? Playful? Retrospective? Experimental? Determined? See how each member has processed the year through their art.
