OS Gowanus | The Space | The Location | The Building | Artist-In-Residence Program | KoKo NYC | Koko Y Gallery

OS Gowanus is located on the ground floor at 234 Butler St. in Gowanus, located in the historic Gowanus Station building. Currently this building is occupied by a garbage truck repair shop, a recycling center, the Open Source educational program (KoKo NYC) and Spoke the Hub. Amongst Gowanus industry, NYCHA housing complexes, artist studios and newly-built luxury condominiums, we aim to provide a space where artists can work with the community, developing art that responds to and reflects the community surrounding OS Gowanus.

The Gowanus Station Building is currently in danger of being demolished. Contact Brooklyn Community Board 6 for more information on how you can save it!
