Brooklyn Art Space & Trestle

Brooklyn Art Space is an arts organization dedicated to supporting artists by providing studio space and a gallery space that exhibits a diverse spectrum of contemporary art works.
 Located in the Park Slope/Gowanus area of Brooklyn, BAS offers the most affordable studio space in NYC with open studio access, semi-private and private studios.

Additionally, BAS provides an array of workshops, professional development opportunities, art talks, studio visits, exhibition grants, and open studio events. BAS also offers two residency programs: theRecent Graduate Residency and the Visiting Artist Residency.Brooklyn Art Space’s mission is to foster the growth of artists, engage the art community through educational programming, and make contemporary art accessible to public audiences. BAS seeks to aid any artist who might not otherwise havespaceto make, show and sell artwork without the help of a low cost studio, exhibition opportunities and professional development workshops.

Trestle Gallery, as part of its exchange with Brooklyn Art Space, works to ensure artists of all levels have sufficient exhibition and professional development opportunities. All artists are invited to submit artwork to Trestle Gallery's many open-calls, to drop in for monthly critiques, to enjoy our artist talk series and to participate in weekly figure drawing sessions.

In a combined effort, Trestle Gallery and Brooklyn Art Space seek to alleviate the typical pressures NYC artists encounter, while inviting collectors to view art in an active and singular environment. The gallery and studios are just steps away from one another, so visitors to our one-of-a-kind space have the opportunity to view featured artwork, works in progress and new works during one visit.
