What is K.I.D.S. Art Education?

The Kentler International Drawing Space (K.I.D.S.) is a non profit gallery in Red Hook, Brooklyn. K.I.D.S. Art Education offers various art-making programs to teachers, students, and families. Our audience spans those who have never been to a gallery and those who are professionals in the arts. With our diverse community in mind, we are committed to using contemporary art as a platform for inquiry, exploration, and empowerment. Our goal is for visitors and program participants to recognize their own potential as creators and meaning makers.
