Powerhouse staff have joined the nationwide efforts making masks in support of healthcare and other essential workers serving our community. To date, we have sent over 200 masks to healthcare workers at local healthcare organizations, who have posted calls for masks.
These healthcare organizations include Community Options Inc., a non-profit org in New Jersey that provides housing and employment opportunities for people with disabilities; T.E.A.L, a Brooklyn based non-profit organization for women struggling with ovarian cancer; Mount Sinai’s postpartum and pediatrics unit; and Samaritan Daytop Village Veritas House Community Residence, a community residence in Harlem that provides healthcare, mental health, and substance abuse services for high-risk populations.
To learn more about how you can support by purchasing a mask, please email marketing@powerhousearts.org.

We are located at 60 Seabring Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Our hours of operation are 9am - 5pm, by appointment only.
There are no stairs required to access our ground-floor (Wood, Metal, and Ceramic shops & offices) and there is one accessible bathroom without handrails. The Textile Shop is located on a second-floor that is only accessible by a steep flight of stairs with 17 steps (8" high and 9" deep), and one handrail on the right side when ascending.
