About Brookly Waterfront
Artists Coalition (BWAC)
BWAC
is a truly unique gallery – a massive Civil War-era warehouse on
the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY
Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit really huge
work, and we welcome it. We will be using 8,000 square feet for this
show, and look forward to exhibiting artists’work from all around the
country, work in all sizes, subjects, and media, except film.
We really love art – in all media. As well as looking for skill in the
use of a variety of materials, we look for how well that medium relates
to the concept or movement, and how fully the artist’sintention or
concept is presented and realized. The juror’s awards will
reflect that artistic judgment. Virtually every medium is accepted
including: Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, Photography, Pastel, Drawing,
Print, Mixed Media, Sculpture, Assemblage, Installation, Fabric.
