About the Venue:

Welcome to Botanica Grove, a vibrant art and wellness center located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Founded by Darren Singer in 2024, we are dedicated to cultivating a dynamic community where art serves as a generator for healing.

Our mission is to explore and celebrate art as a means of self-discovery and healing. At Botanica Grove, we host a diverse array of exhibitions, workshops, and events that embrace a wide range of artistic mediums and disciplines.

Our curated shows invite artists to push the boundaries of their creativity, engaging with themes that explore the interplay of color fields, density, and transformations.

We provide a platform for both emerging and established artists, encouraging participation from those working in any medium: painting, sculpture, photography, digital media, and performance.

Our community is built on the belief that art can transmit healing and foster connections.

We invite you to join us in this journey, whether by visiting our exhibitions, participating in our events, or contributing your artistic vision.

At Botanica Grove, we are more than just an art gallery; we are a sanctuary for creativity, expression, and holistic well-being.
