Updates: Sunset Park Wide Open is no longer offering open hours on Friday. It will be open on Saturday and Sunday as scheduled.

Sunset Park Wide Open (SPWO) is dedicated to celebrating and supporting the creative community of Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Through free, accessible programming and neighborhood-wide initiatives, the organization fosters meaningful connections between artists, cultural workers, and the public—strengthening local engagement and enriching the cultural life of the neighborhood.

As part of this mission, Sunset Park Wide Open facilitates Sunset Park Open Studios (SPOS)—an annual weekend of open studios, exhibitions, performances, and cultural events. SPOS invites visitors to explore the creative energy of Sunset Park, offering direct access to artists’ studios, collaborative art spaces, and diverse cultural organizations. The event uplifts local voices and showcases the vibrant arts ecosystem that defines the neighborhood.

Stop by NARS Foundation to get a Sunset Park Open Studios list of the open studios, a map of locations, and more, at 201 46th Street, 4th Floor.
