Williamsburg Gallery Association
Williamsburg Gallery Association aids and encourages the public presentation of local and international art in the vicinity of greater Williamsburg as an integral and necessary component of an ongoing creative dialogue. Toward this end, we promote the art venues of Williamsburg through public programs, advertising, and collaborative events that reach out to both the general 
public and to the visual art community citywide and beyond. Our aim is to bring the dynamic creative activity of greater Williamsburg to the attention of the world.The Williamsburg Gallery Association was founded in 2002 with 23 original charter members. The association is comprised of gallerists, curators, artists, and community members from Williamsburg. The region continues to grow from it’s traditional hub in the area along the Williamsburg waterfront and extends north to Greenpoint and out to the environs of Bushwick- all areas served by the L train.

Built c. 1652, the original portion of the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House is the oldest structure in New York City. Its history exemplifies the diversity of Brooklyn
Weeksville Heritage CenterLike Nayyirah Waheed, whose poem “A Genocide for Flowers” inspired the title for this exhibition, Alexandria Smith’s and Katherine Toukhy’s respective work responds to notions of multiple and developing identities.
Seemingly light-hearted with its bold colors and cartoonish aesthetics, Alexandria Smith’s paintings rely on the repetitive but fragmented representation of ribbons, shoes, pigtails and dresses to convey an uneasy feeling of almost playful games, set in liminal spaces that allude to domestic and urban environments.
Katherine Toukhy’s wall works are densely layered, hand-drawn collages that compose small and large-scale figures. These characters are built with Islamic and camouflage patterns, orientalist imagery, and evocative landscapes, as if they were growing out of their layered histories and herstories.
