You've heard all about the Bushwick scene, but what about Gowanus?

Join Ground Floor Gallery on an insightful, behind-the-scenes tour of several artist studios as part of Gowanus Open Studios weekend! Gowanus Open Studios is the one opportunity, each year, that local artists based in this vibrant community neighboring the storied Canal invite the general public into their studios to catch a glimpse of what they're working on and thinking about.

Ground Floor Gallery owners, Krista Scenna & Jill Benson, will introduce you to several of the talented artists who work in all different media and help sustain the creative spirit that's put Gowanus on the map.

Spend an afternoon meeting up-and-coming artists in the neighborhood and leave with new work straight from the studio or, at the very least, an exciting preview of what's coming down the pike!

The tour begins promptly at 1pm.

Meeting Place + Time: 12:45pm // Ground Floor Gallery, 343 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY
