Pioneer Works is located at 159 Pioneer Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Our galleries and garden are currently closed for installation. We will reopen to the public on June 7, 2025 and resume regular hours—Wednesday through Sunday 12-6 pm.

We know access is an iterative and ongoing process. Please contact info@pioneerworks.org to share accessibility questions regarding your upcoming visit or feedback on our policy.

Everyone is welcome at Pioneer Works, and we strive to create an inviting and inclusive environment for all visitors. To this end, we’re currently in the process of implementing changes to make our entire building ADA accessible as part of our Capital Improvement Plan, which is set to be completed in January 2025. Thank you for your patience as we work toward improving the infrastructure of our beloved 19th-century building.
