Arts Gowanus is excited to present our second (now annual) Patterns Gala! This event will be held outdoors at The Old Stone House on May 12, 2023 from 6:00 - 9:30. All attendees are heavily encouraged to wear the craziest patterns they can! Come and enjoy food, drinks, live music, raffles, and more.

The Patterns Gala will also feature an auction, with over 50 amazing artworks from incredible local artists in our community. Auction will begin online 2 weeks before the event, link forthcoming. (BIDDING ENDS at the event on May 12, 2023 at 9:00pm)

RAIN DATE MAY 18th

A HUGE THANKS TO OUR AMAZING FRIENDS AT THE OLD STONE HOUSE FOR HOSTING US AGAIN!!!

This Gala is critical in supporting Arts Gowanus’ advocacy and programming expenses, as well as our year-long support of artists in the community. By purchasing a ticket to the gala or sponsoring the event, you will help us raise much needed funds to help continue the important community building work we are doing in the Gowanus. 

This fundraiser comes at a pivotal moment as over the next few years we need to dramatically grow our infrastructure before we take stewardship of 28,000 square feet of affordable studio space and a community center we negotiated as part of the Gowanus Rezoning plan. Our organization is growing rapidly and we are not slowing down! We’ve made great strides in making our community more visible and our events more accessible to all the artists in the community, these funds help support the organization’s free and low-cost arts programming.There are several ticket tiers for sponsorships. All sponsorship levels include acknowledgements for this and other 2023 events.
