Powerhouse Arts (PHA) is a not‑for‑profit creative production center in Gowanus, Brooklyn. We bring artists, fabricators, educators, and neighbors together—and connect them to the tools, spaces, and support they need to express themselves and sustain their practices. Every program, rental, and partnership helps fund our creative mission.
Powerhouse Arts is committed to creative expression. In our purpose‑built facility, an extended network of art and fabrication professionals and educators co‑create, teach, and share practices vital to the wellbeing of artists and the communities to which they belong.
We envision a society where creative expression is celebrated as central to personal and civic life. Our vision for impact is rooted in three beliefs:
- People → an infinite spring of creativity. In shared spaces of exploration, communities imagine new realities for themselves and their neighbors. We collaborate with individuals and organizations to support the creative lives of New Yorkers.
- Making → a collective practice of possibility. When we make, we experiment, explore, expand, and evolve. Making sparks new possibilities for ourselves and our communities—and ignites transformation.
- Social justice → a daily practice. Culture thrives where justice flourishes. As a creative hive, we foster an environment where people feel inspired and empowered to explore and create within and beyond our walls.
