Muse BK A New Art Space in Brooklyn Especially for Women Artists From Our Community

Natalie Greenberg

A re you a creative woman? Have you ever wanted to take an adult art class without having to go to Manhattan? Then Muse BK is for you! It is a co-working studio and art event space located in the heart of our community, created just for women artists.

Muse BK was the brainchild of a very talented community artist who was looking for a space in our neighborhood to work. After consulting with many other female community artists, it was decided that the new studio would have a communal space where women can get together to work on their own art, as well as private spaces where professional artists can work. These types of spaces have been previously available in Dumbo, Red Hook, and Gowanus, but nothing like this has ever been available close to where we live in South Brooklyn!

Muse BK was created to give artists space to work, play, and dream. To ensure a comfortable working environment for everyone, only 20 members will be accepted at a time. The workspace at Muse BK is flexible. Work surfaces, storage, easels, and chairs are provided to members free of charge.

Muse BK is also an onsite gallery, housed within a hub of other creative businesses; it will display members’ work. Dedicated to serving the local creative community, Muse BK is an affordable, accessible place for people to expand their creative thinking, invest in their art practice, and connect with others doing the same.

Muse BK will also be open to outside guests for artist talks, Drink & Draw, Gem’s Art Salon, and art classes in all types of media. Guest passes for daily visits are available for a nominal fee.
