FIND US!
BKC works in collaboration with the Rabbithole gallery to create a multifaceted underground art space, complete with artists-in-residence, photo studio rentals, monthly exhibitions and a full events calendar. Through this partnership, and by merging exhibition with education, we aim to expand the possibilities of artists and their creative efforts.
Located on the waterfront of the Dumbo art district in Brooklyn, Rabbithole is a contemporary art and community space. Since 2006, Rabbithole has shown works by hundreds of emerging and mid-career artists, producing over 50 group and solo shows as a participant gallery in Dumbo's First Thursday series of art walks. The space operates as a project room, providing artists a forum for showing new works and works-in-progress, and presenting events, film screenings, readings and parties.
