Arts in Bushwick is an all-volunteer organization; our mission is to promote and support local artists, serve the community at large through arts education and creative accessibility, and organize all residents and stakeholders in Bushwick to fight development-driven displacement and work toward an integrated, sustainable community.

OUR MODEL: All of the projects and activities of Arts in Bushwick are developed, directed, produced and operated by motivated artists and community residents who volunteer their time, skills and resources to achieve our shared goals and vision. Our organizational structure allows everyone, from the individual artist or community member to larger arts organizations and community groups, to participate in our process, promotional efforts, and activities. We hold open community meetings every week or two, and our organization is non-hierarchical; we are accountable only to each other. Our structure encourages artist-self-promotion and self-direction, and collaboration among artists and all residents of our neighborhood. Breaking Even Community organizing and bridge-building is not about profit for the organizers. Rather, it is about making connections, giving our energy to the people around us, and working together to support our friends, our neighbors, and the community at large.
