"For years artists have been asking us to organize a big Brooklyn artists exhibition, and now we've done it! Brooklyn has more artists than anywhere, and we are thrilled to expand the ways we support the excellence of our incredible borough." — Anne Pasternak, Director of the Brooklyn Museum.
The artworks selected for the exhibition reflect Brooklyn's vibrant and dynamic art scene, spanning a wide range of artistic disciplines including drawing, painting, collage and assemblage, video, multimedia, installation and sculpture.
Showcasing a snapshot of Brooklyn's creative output over the past five years, the artists in this exhibition explore and challenge contemporary themes that resonate both locally and globally, such as migration, cross-cultural exchange, identity, history and memory.
Reflecting on a rich history of fostering creativity and championing artists of all backgrounds, the museum's bicentennial is an opportunity to honor the borough's artistic heritage.
