Brooklyn Artists Gym has 10,000-square feet of space in the warehouse district between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens that provides New York City artists with affordable studio space and a nurturing community in which to produce their work. Founded by Peter Wallace in early 2005, the group seeks to dispel old myths about artists struggling to produce work in small, cramped quarters. The group provides a bright, open, well-equipped community space, and rents the gallery to members for shows at reduced rates.

In addition to renting work space, the studio also hosts bi-weekly figure drawing sessions, children’s art classes, and other programs, such as a boot-making workshop and an air brush workshop. All of these events are open to the public
