Join us at Brooklyn Made for a special NYCxDESIGN Open Studios event celebrating Brooklyn’s creative spirit. We’re bringing together high-end design, innovative products, and local craftsmanship for an afternoon of live demos, exclusive showcases, workshops, and great community vibes—with even more events to be added throughout the day.

The Corner Gallery will feature Brooklyn Made presents Urban Hieroglyphs: Brooklyn Connection, an exhibition celebrating the visual language of street art, graffiti, and contemporary urban expression. Showcasing a dynamic lineup of artists from Brooklyn and beyond, the exhibit honors the borough’s deep-rooted influence in the global art scene. In addition, Brooklyn Made will highlight makers whose sustainable merchandise aligns with Earth Day initiatives, as well as those producing cannabis-adjacent products in honor of 4/20. Featuring artists like Al Díaz, Eric Orr, 2ESAE, and many more, this exhibition fosters conversation, cultural appreciation, and support for local creators. Join us for the opening receptions at Industry City and City Point to celebrate Brooklyn’s vibrant legacy of street art.
