ART SAVES LIVES ❤︎



17 years community strong

Red Hook Art Project invites you to celebrate 17 years of creativity, resilience, and community impact at our annual Gala fundraiser this May. What began as a grassroots vision in Red Hook has grown into a powerful movement: uplifting young artists, transforming public spaces, and strengthening our neighborhood through the arts.

Join us as we reflect on the milestones that shaped us, honor the youth and community leaders who continue to inspire us, and invest in the next chapter of RHAP’s story. Together, we celebrate not only where we’ve been, but the bold, creative future we are building for Red Hook.
