Celebrating the Arts | Eckford Street Studio

Eckford Street Studio (ESS) Community Projects @ ESS is a Community Art Studio located in North Brooklyn. Their mission is to bring high quality art education to all members of the North Brooklyn community regardless of income or experience. They provide art experiences and instruction for all ages, from six months to adults, and are committed to ensuring that no individual lacks an opportunity to engage with the arts due to their inability to afford it. Participants in ESS programs develop confidence, resiliency, empathy, and critical thinking skills through explorations in a variety of materials, methods, and ideas. They learn to synthesize information in new ways. Responsive, student-driven curricula are designed by experienced educators to foster the skills necessary for an authentic artistic practice, deepening students’ understanding of the world around them. They now have virtual and in-person programs available and have introduced their first round of ESS art magic packaged up for you to experience at home! With kits for both adults and children, these are not only great for giving, but also to use to make your own gifts! There are three kits to choose from, with more on the way.

Check out their website to learn more. Now more than ever, we all need a vehicle that allows us to escape the usual. Why not take a look at what ESS has to offer and make art a healthy and fun focus in your life. If you are already a fan of the arts we invite you to join us in supporting ESS and celebrate the arts!
