Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition was formed in 1976 by a group of 16 artists looking simply to exhibit their work. In 1986, “BWAC” moved to its permanent home in the Red Hook waterfront neighborhood of Brooklyn. We are an all-volunteer group of member artists that manage all aspects of a nonprofit 501-(3)c gallery. BWAC is dedicated to giving emerging and mid-career artists space to exhibit their art, plus we support artists who may not have an opportunity to show their artwork such as the disabled, students, and those facing economic hardship.
