Gallery Hours
Open 24/7 to the public on sidewalk at 144 Boerum St, Brooklyn
The Pig Pen Gallery brings funny artists to the comedy world with an all-day & all-night gallery open to the public on the sidewalk of 144 Boerum St.
It is an enclosed exhibition space in the lobby of BCC’s Dog House studios. The wall-mounted display case is an enclosed, fully functional gallery complete with track lighting and an oak floor. The gallery’s programming features artists who use humor as an integral part of their artistic practices. By bringing art into a comedic space, Doghouse Gallery fosters a dialogue between the world of comedy and the art world, bridging the gap between the two disciplines and inspiring artists and performers alike.
