About
319 Scholes links together three independent organizations in order to achieve a common goal of supporting the minds and needs of contemporary artists of various mediums. The physical space becomes an arena of exchange, allowing production and conception, practice and performance to come together and thus unit artists with their audiences. The design of 319 Scholes is both dynamic and abstract, reiterating our goal of promoting and inspiring individuality and collaboration.
319 Scholes is situated in a historically industrial neighborhood of Brooklyn. Located between the Morgan and Montrose metro stops off the L train, the space reflects the unique demographics of contemporary Bushwick, which includes live poultry shops, low-income housing projects, a fortune cookie factory as well as artists lofts and luxury condos. Playing off the history and diversity of the neighborhood, the facade of 319 Scholes is composed of layers of doorways so that one space opens into another.
The mission of 319 Scholes is to bring organizations and people together. Although a meta concept, our goals remains transparent in order to facillitate growth both on an individual and group level. This attitude is reflected in the raw aesthetic of the physical landscape and unique architecture.
