## About

Powerhouse Arts (PHA) is a not-for-profit organization committed to creative expression, housed in the historic Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station in Gowanus, Brooklyn, New York. The organization opened in 2023 after the comprehensive restoration and reimagination of the 117-year-old landmark building by Herzog & de Meuron in collaboration with PBDW Architects.

Located on Lenape land along the Gowanus Canal, the 170,000-square-foot facility transforms a derelict industrial structure into a contemporary arts center that meets the multidisciplinary needs of the modern arts ecosystem. The building maintains the industrial legacy of the site while serving artists, fabricators, and the community.
