2020 Brooklyn Borough Arts Festival
Online Gallery
Celebrate the creativity and talent of Brooklyn students with the 2020 Brooklyn Borough Arts Festival virtual exhibit. Highlighting the work of students Pre-K through 12th grade, this annual art show features the work of some of Brooklyn’s youngest artists.
The arts provide opportunities to utilize our unique creative problem-solving skills, and Brooklyn has always been fertile ground for novel ideas and innovation. This year we celebrate the artistry of Brooklyn’s youngest artists and express gratitude to the families, dedicated teachers, and forward-thinking administrators who continue to encourage and support the arts in times of adversity, as well as in times of triumph.
Animals and Us

On view October 26, 2019 – September 2020
Flying high above or slithering down the sidewalk – animals are all around us. Even in the heart of bustling Brooklyn, we share space with animals that create their homes and everyday patterns around ours. Like our human neighbors, these animals make our individual communities unique, and are part of the places we call home.
Animals and Us highlights objects from Brooklyn Children’s Museum’s 30,000 piece collection that reflect how people have been inspired to create art and everyday objects by the mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians around them. Some of these animals have inspired folktales and stories within communities; others have sparked imaginary, fantastical never-been-seen creatures.
