BROOKLYN, NY – August 14, 2013 – chashama and the NYC Economic Development Corporation invite the greater New York City area to visit chashama's largest subsidized studio program located at the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal. Spread across two adjacent buildings and situated along Brooklyn's waterfront in the Sunset Park neighborhood, the studios have been a work space for painters, sculptors, photographers, experimental mixed media artists, and even fire-breathing performers! The studio program is currently home to over 85 artists.

For one weekend only, guests can tour the studios, meet the artists, and experience the rich cultural history of the Brooklyn Army Terminal buildings. Guests also have the option to join a private, guided tour offered by the Municipal Art Society (https://secure3.convio.net/masnyc/site/Ecommerce/76403226...) by pre-registering on their website.

In partnership with the NYC Economic Development Corporation, chashama has provided subsidized studios for hundreds of artists since 2005. The studio program expanded from 20,000 to 60,000 sq. ft. in 2009 to accommodate the growing needs of local artists. chashama plans to continue supporting communities of underserved, emerging and established artists in Sunset Park and beyond, for years to come.
