We invite folks to Open Houses when we have spaces come available. To visit GSS, you will need to submit an application via the Join page on this website.

We provide space, equipment, and support to emerging designers, artists, and craftspeople.

We also have workshops, exhibitions, and events!

As we plan workshops, they will be posted to the website and on our Instagram.

If you need to know more, contact us using the appropriate email address listed on our Contact page above.

There are different levels of membership, depending on whether you have a basic membership or any private studio space or storage. More information on membership rates can be found on the Join page.

You can bring a friend to work in the studio space with you only when you are present, they aren’t working on their own projects, and they will need to sign a waiver.

If we have any planned, they will be posted on our Events page.

Fill out our online application to be emailed about our next open studio. 

Your application will be reviewed and you are welcome to come to our next open house. Once you are accepted, you can become a basic member right away. Studios and other space options open throughout the year; you may use the general work area and shops at any time. 

GSS reviews applications on a monthly basis. Memberships are month-to-month with no long-term commitments and require 30 days written notice of termination of membership. However, we do encourage our members to stay for at least 1 year. There is no limit to how long you can be a member! 

We allow this on a case by case basis—depending on how busy the studio is with our current members. Email us and let us know about your project needs.

No, we do not offer this option. Our shops are for our members only.

Yes we do! Contact us and let us know about your proposal.

We only do culturally-based events here and on a case-by-case basis. We typically don’t do weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, etc. If you have an art event, are a non-profit or have an event that is culturally-based, please email info@gowanusstudio.org to tell us your needs and we’ll get back to you.

No, we aren’t a venue. Some of our events or fundraisers might have a band as a part of the programming, but we do not have bands play here unless related to a GSS event.

We don’t have a separate enclosed space for shooting studio photography, so GSS probably won’t be a good option for you.

We are a member-run studio with no paid positions.
