We are New Yorkers, and we love great art. Since New York has the best artists in the world, we love using our furniture showroom to support local artists.
Brooklyn Space was founded in 2018 (online only), and moved into our 68 Jay Street Showroom December, 2020. Since moving in we have hosted a pop-up art gallery, a short film contest, and dozens of photography and video projects.
WIFL - Juneteenth
Our first pop-up art gallery, What it Feels Like is an immersive art experience featuring emerging Black Artists - the joys and sorrows of what it feels like to be an artist; to be seen; to feel unheard; or to be an artist of color in the art world today.
Curated By Nicolette McClendon

Film Title: Dogman
“Kumiko Pierce” Sam Kumiko Sheridan, Spencer Pierce Hillman
Sam and Spencer met in an NYU Tisch School of the Arts screenwriting course one week before collaborating on Dogman. Spencer previously attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design where he was studying furniture design, which was what initially drew them to the Brooklyn Space Film Competition. Sam was raised in NYC, and has an extensive background in editing and filmmaking. The two are a writer/director team in the city, and are always looking for new people to work with.
We hope you love this film as much as we enjoyed making it.
